Top 6 Quick Snack Ideas That Will Improve Your Children’s Health
by Wayto Singh waytosinghAre you worried that the foods your children
are eating in school are not healthy enough? It is perfectly understandable for
you to have this concern considering that most school cafeterias in the country
are serving unhealthy food.
But you can’t do anything since you are so
busy and not able to find time in preparing healthy kid lunches and snack. Well, you don’t have to fret
anymore. There are quick snack
ideas that don’t need too much time to prepare. You can easily whip
them up in a short time and they will still provide good nutrition to your kids
while they are in school.
Here are some healthy snacks that don’t need
a long time to prepare.
1. Sunflower seeds – they are high in
protein and fiber, and will serve as a powerhouse for your growing kids. They
may be high in fat, but it is the healthy kind of fat usually found in nuts and
olive oil.
2. Fresh fruits – these do not need any kind
or preparation. Some will have to be peeled before they are eaten. Choose
apples, bananas, grapes and similar fruits.
Your kids will love them because they are easily eaten, delicious and
nutritious as well.
3. Granola bars – if you will buy granola
bars with whole grains, you will provide your kids with crunchy treats that are
rich in protein and fiber. Stay away from bars that look more like candy bars
which are just high in sugar and nothing else.
4. Scrambled eggs – make hard-boiled eggs on
a weekend, and store them in the fridge. When you need to make a healthy snack,
just take them out of the fridge, slice them into small pieces, add cheese and
poultry, or mix it in sauce and then wrap it in a tortilla and give them to
your kids.
5. Veggies – this is the healthiest snack you
can give your kids, although not the usual ones. But if you get your kid in the
habit of eating veggies, that will be excellent. It is really just a matter of
making them attractive and yummy. So, slice a piece of carrot into tiny strips,
add in some small pieces of broccoli and offer them to your kids with their
favorite dip. Or you can bake veggie chips to make them more interesting to
eat. Veggies are usually included in healthy lunch ideas for kids.
6. Assorted nuts – nuts contain fats that
are good for the heart and arteries. They are also rich in protein and
essential vitamins and minerals. But don’t give your kids too much macadamia
since they are high in saturated fats.
