Making snacks is an excellent way to get your kids into healthy eating, and it serves as a bonding time with them as well. Whip up a batch of healthy snacks right in the comfort of your River Green condo using these five ideas.
Simple Salad
Salads are one of the easiest things to make in the kitchen. As an added bonus, you can make your own variety using what’s on hand in your refrigerator or dining table. Leafy greens, onions, carrots, some raisins, some croutons, drizzle some dressing, and you’re done. It only takes about 5 minutes but it’s very tasty and good for you.
Popcorn
Teach your children how to make homemade popcorn in simple steps. A large pot with a layer of popcorn and some oil, then cover the pot and wait for the telltale sounds to come with the pot on medium heat. Shake it occasionally until all the kernels have popped, then transfer it to a bowl and sprinkle some salt or add butter.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
This classic snack is pretty easy to make, and it’s better than junk food or chips. Prepare the peanut butter and jelly. Take two slices of bread and put a layer of peanut butter in one and some jelly in the other. Slap them together and eat.
DIY Trail Mix
Make your own trail mix with several bags of nuts, dried fruits, dark chocolate chips, and seeds. First, put them all in a large bowl and mix them together. Let them choose the mix they want, then have them portion the trail mix into small plastic bags or containers.
Organic Yogurt and Fruit Slices
Last but not least, any fruit goes well with yogurt, and both ingredients are definitely high on the nutritious list. Slice the fruits into cubes or small strips and mix with the yogurt of your choice.
