Answer 1

Snacks:
Cheese sticks
Low Sodium Goldfish snack crackers.
Cheerios, Frosted Mini wheats, Life Cereal
Graham Crackers
Low Sodium Pretzels
Apples
Del Monte Peaches and Cream fruit cups.
Gerber Snack foods.
Whole bran muffins.
Yogurt

Look for Low Sodium and Whole Wheat when buying snacks.

Kids are suppose to eat 3 meals and 3 snack times a day. Its best to eat in small portions rather than eat large meals.

Answer 2

There are some good answers on here... One of my son's favorite snacks is sweet potato "potato chips"... I take a sweet potato and slice it pretty thin then sprinkle light brown sugar on (very little) and bake them in the oven at 350 for around 20 minutes. We also eat a lot of peanut butter and jelly granola bars... you take the PB, Jelly and uncooked oats and mix them together to a good consistency and bake them on 325 for like 10 to 15 minutes... I have found that kids will eat just about anything they "help" to cook! It takes twice as long for me to have him help me put the potato slices on the cookie sheet and help "sprinkle" the brown sugar etc... but I get 20 more minutes of sanity and a quick bath for him while everything is in the oven gives me 5 more then he has an awesome snack waiting for him and he can hit the bed for nap after we play a game while eating our snacks!

Answer 3

You've already received many, may good answers to your question. I'd like to go further and suggest you look at the carbohydrate levels in your kids' snacks....... look at crackers, peanut butter, juices, etc. you'd be very suprised. We are foster parents to special needs kids and we were amazed at the changes in behaviors when the kids weren't on a carb (sugar) buzz. We actually had kids that figured out a couple of glasses of milk would give them that buzz - it's not just sugary kool-aids and soda that too this! When we asked our school district to be sure to limit our kids to one carton of milk they thougth we were crazy - until we did an experiment with them - now they believe too. You'll see not only a healthier child but chances are a better behaved child too if you watch the carbs. :)

Answer 4

Bananas, cheese cubes, string cheese, grapes, popcorn.

100 calorie snack packs are great! They get some "sweets" without the calories.

Answer 5

apples with peanut butter, carrots and dip, fruit-cups, grahm crackers, glass of milk, slice of cheese

avoid fruit snacks, and fish crakers, (they have this dye in them that makes them hyper), and avoid the chips because those are empty calories.

Answer 6

Blueberries that you have placed in the freezer. (not frozen though) They make a great summer snack and I just tell my daughter that they are candy.

Answer 7

carrot sticks, yogurt,fresh fruit, anything healthy..teach them good eating habits now and they will choose better choices in the future
