Fun Snacks for Kids
How do you keep snacks exciting and fun? Here are ten healthy and fun
ideas:
Fruit on a Stick – Cut up a bunch of different fruits such as apples,
bananas, kiwis, mango and add a few grapes. Thread them onto a skewer
for a delicious summer time treat. To make it a little more special add
a few pieces of marshmallows between the fruit.
Quick Banana Ice - Take a few bananas and mash them in a bowl. Cover and
place in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Remove from freezer, fluff up
with fork for a healthy, ice cream like treat.
Pita Pizza – Spread a little tomato sauce on a pita bread and cut into
small triangular pieces. Top with a little grated cheese and place in a
moderately heated oven for about 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts
and starts to bubble.
Sweet Tortilla Shapes – Using small fun shaped cookie cutters cut fun
shapes out of a tortilla (wrap). Place on non stick cookie sheet and
lightly brush with a little butter. Lightly sprinkle (you only need a
little) with a mixture of 1 part cinnamon and 3 parts brown sugar and
bake in a moderately hot oven for 10 minutes for a sweet and crispy
treat.
Frozen Mandarin Wedges – Peel a few mandarin slices and cover in plastic
wrap. Place in the freezer for about an hour for a thirst quenching
treat.
Banana Wheels – Place a cup or so of cheerios in a plastic bag and using
the back of your hand or a rolling pin flatten until mixture resembles
fine crumbs. Slice a banana into rounds and place a few at a time in the
plastic bag. Shake lightly to cover the banana pieces (banana wheels)
with the cheerios mixture.
Mini Wraps – Lightly spread a tortilla with a little cream cheese and
place one or two slices of thin ham or turkey over the cream cheese.
Roll tightly and cut into small rounds.
Jiggly Fruit – Make a portion of strawberry flavored jello per package
instructions and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Open and
drain a can of fruit cocktail and add to the jello and mix. Place back
in the fridge until jello is fully set.
Ants on Boats – Cut a few apple wedges and spread thinly with peanut
butter. Add a few raisins over the peanut butter and enjoy. You can also
use cream cheese instead of peanut butter.
Pick and Mix – Kids seem to really enjoy finger foods rather than eating
too much of one thing. A great snack is to place a selection of finger
foods on a serving plate and let the kids choose. You can serve a
combination of foods like carrot sticks, cucumber rounds, cherry
tomatoes, pretzels or pretzel sticks, small savory crackers, bread
sticks, little cubes or slices of cheese, small slices of ham or turkey,
grapes and other pieces of cut up fruit, mini muffins, and dried fruit
such as raisins or apricots.
