Ants on a Log:
Celery with peanut butter and raisins. This classic has it all, fruit, veggie, protein, and fat.

Sweet Potato Fries and Yogurt or Ranch Dip:
Baked sweet potatoes are high in Vitamin A and Beta- Carotene and are fun to dip.

Kale Chips:
Baked kale with a little tamari makes eating greens fun and delicious. Pair these with some crackers and cheese for a balanced snack.

Guacamole Dip: This tangy green dip is easy for kids to help make and tastes great
with veggies, tortillas, or tortilla chips.

 Fruit Salad:
Try using cookie cutters to create fun shapes. Also, using low-fat yogurt as a fruit dip adds extra calcium and protein.

Tofu:
Tofu can be marinated with a variety of flavors and cubed for a tasty protein alternative to meat. Add to a sandwich or salad for a twist.

Diced Chicken: Cook extra meat at dinner to cube for snacks. Add to a tortilla
with cheese for a quick and easy protein packed snack.

Nut Butter and Fruit:
Pair peanut, almond, or cashew butter with sliced fruit. This snack has healthy fat and protein along with extra vitamins from fruit.

Loads of fiber and protein; also delicious in a wrap with cheese.

High in protein and calcium, cottage cheese is easy for kids to help themselves.

Try making your own with a mix of nuts, dried fruit, coconut, and sugar-free granola.

 Oatmeal to Go:
These low- sugar treats are great to make on a Sunday or activity-free evening.

 Pita Bread Sandwich with Cream Cheese and Carrots:
I like to grate carrots and add them to the inside of the pita with cream cheese spread. They add a bit of sweetness and a punch of Vitamin A.

 Muffins:
Kids love to help bake. Make your own muffins with extra fruit and nuts and you
can reduce fat by using applesauce. 

Homemade Popsicles:
I like to make smoothies and freeze them in Popsicle molds for a fast frozen treat

 Rice Pudding:
Especially home-made with fresh fruit for extra vitamins. Sub rice with quinoa
