6 healthy snacks for children

Don't know what healthy snack to send your children to school? Today we give you 6 super healthy options that you are going to love.

In this return to class, one of the concerns, after books, uniforms, schedules, etc. It’s going to be What are our children eating? What healthy snack can we give them? It is not always easy to cook a complete dish and we know it. So here we share a few nutritious snacks for your children, whether for lunch or at home:

  • Special cookies: They will always prefer “less healthy” cookies over whole grain ones. So you have to give them a twist. Add a little goat cheese and/or natural fruit jam to the whole grain crackers.
  • Banana Tacos: Just as you read, flour tortillas, covered on one side with peanut butter (which is healthier than chocolate syrup) and sliced ​​banana. Serve them only about 2 so that there is not too much.
  • Healthy frozen: The only thing you need is molds that you can freeze. Put natural juice of your fruit or fruits that your children like the most, as well as a little natural yogurt 🙂 You can also add pieces of the same fruit.
  • Sandwich: Never underestimate the versatility of the sandwich. It can be a traditional one, but change the white bread for whole wheat, the pork ham for turkey, and the cheese for something not so greasy. If you want to make it even more interesting, simply add vegetables that don’t taste too strong, like tomatoes. You can make them simply from ham and cheese and cut them into interesting shapes, like stars, moons, etc. There are templates for this, remember that children are very visual.
  • Baked potatoes: Better than roasted ones, you can add a little low-fat cheese, ketchup, salt and pepper. If you make mini potatoes, they become a great snack.
  • **Waffles with yogurt: ** Something that must be taken advantage of in our time is that there is already everything in its natural, healthy version or both. In the case of waffles, you can look for whole wheat ones and if they are very expensive, you can always look for the dough and make them at home 🙂 it doesn’t take any time at all. Once ready, simply add Greek yogurt and fruit. All of these recommendations are better than traditional chips and/or pastries. We have to remember that we have to maintain some of the rich flavor that those other foods that are not so healthy for children have :)
