5. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a healthy breakfast for kids but also makes a great snack. Oats are high in soluble fiber, which increases the number of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, along with other health benefits. Skip flavored packets, which are high in sugar, and make your oatmeal with whole, rolled oats. Add about 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon and some
diced apples for sweetness. If you make the oatmeal with milk instead of water, it will add some additional protein and calcium.
6. A piece of cheese
Cheese is mostly made up of protein and fat and is a good source of calcium. Studies show that eating cheese and other dairy products is linked to better overall diet quality. Full-fat dairy foods significantly contribute to a child’s nutritional requirements for calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A and D.
