7. Whole-grain crackers and nut butter
You can make your own sandwich crackers by spreading a little nut butter, such as almond butter, on whole-grain crackers. This snack has a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat. However, choose crackers for your kids carefully. Many crackers are full of refined flour, hydrogenated oils, and even sugar. Instead, choose crackers made with 100% whole grains and seeds.
8. A piece of fruit
A piece of fruit is a convenient and healthy snack for kids. Most fruits contain fiber and important nutrients like potassium and vitamins A and C. Bananas, apples, pears, grapes, peaches, and plums are examples of fruits that can be used for grab-and-go snacks. Cut fruits like pineapple, cantaloupe, and mango into bite-size pieces and store in small containers for convenient snacks.
