Healthy Snacks and Lunches for Kids at Home

I recently had a reader ask about healthy snack and lunch ideas for kids not attending school yet. So this seemed like a good time to link to an article I wrote about Healthy Snack Ideas.  

Here are a couple of the ideas:

* Ants on a log (celery with peanut butter and raisins)

* Carrots, celery, and pita triangles with Hummus dipping sauce

* Banana Pops (dip in yogurt, roll in crushed grains, and freeze)

* Frozen grapes

Also, you might try a really fun pita sandwich that is a hit in our house…The Rainbow PB&J. This is fun and easy to make. Just put your PB& J in a whole wheat pita pocket, spread some peanut butter on the top and then layer some colorful fruit.
