As a parent I prefer to make nutritious snacks in between meals. Mostly because packaged and proccesed foods have a lot of fat and calories that affect your health if you bring in too many. Recipes that are simple (and delicious) are perfect. Ideal snacks are those that contain or made of fruit, vegetables, and other fresh ingredients. Try chopping up and mixing these ingreients into any kind of mixture. Small garden salads, fruit salads, or fruit bowls will do the trick. You can also go to
allrecipies.com and find great and simple recipies that will satisfy your needs. Good luck!

Is the microwave oven okay? (Don't worry, you just need the thirty-second button.)
Ingredients: Crumbled cheese: gorgonzola, bleu, whatever, and sourdough bread.
1. Evenly spread the crumbles of cheese on the top of the slice of bread.
2. Put a paper towel on top of the plate (some cheese will stick to it, but it keeps the bread from dryign otu and getting hard.)
3. Put in the microwave for between thirty seconds and a minute.
4. Remove the paper towel and the cheese should be melted on top of the bread.
5. EAT!

Here are some ideas for nutritious foods that will keep without refrigeration and will help fuel your children for after school activities.
* Peanut butter and vegetables
If your kids like peanut butter, chances are they'll like 'ants on a log', which is peanut butter filled celery sticks dotted with raisins. Try using other dried fruits in place of the raisins for more interest.
* Peanut butter and crackers
Peanut butter is a great food for instant snacking and good nutrition. Choose whole grain crackers and even crusty bread slices.
* Ready to eat cereal
Many ready to eat cereals, especially those which contain whole grain and not much added sugar, are very nutritious. They will also help your student athlete 'carb up' before strenuous activities.
* Homemade snack mixes
Have your child go to the store with you and pick out some nutritious and some 'junky' foods to make your own snack mixes. After all, gorp should have a few M&Ms for fun; just make sure most of the foods are nutritious. Praline Cherry Munch can be made with unsweetened whole grain cereals for more nutrition.
* Juice boxes
Juice boxes use aseptic packaging, which means they will stay fresh and wholesome as long as they aren't opened. Juices provide lots of great nutrition and vitamins for your child. According to a consumer magazine, if juice is diluted half and half with water, its absorption rate is equal to sports drinks.
* Cereal bars
Make sure to check the nutrition label on cereal bars. Choose ones with the highest percentage of nutrients per serving for your child's health.
* Homemade muffins and quick breads
If your child likes muffins, they will love munching on some homemade quick bread. Many of these recipes include pureed fruits and vegetables, which add to the nutritional content.
* Fresh fruit mixes
Choose fruits that will retain quality even out of refrigeration, like grapes, cherry tomatoes (yes, they are a fruit!), small pears and apples, bananas, and oranges (especially clementines).
* Shelf stable yogurt packs and cheese
Make sure that these are purchased from the grocery shelves, not the chilled dairy compartment. These foods stay fresh and safe unless they are opened. Shelf-stable applesauce is another good choice.
* Fruit rolls and dried fruit
Check the label of fruit rolls; some have very good nutrition. And any combination of dried fruits, including nuts, makes a wonderful nutritious snack.
* Cookies
Okay, most cookies wouldn't be considered nutritious. But if all else fails, a homemade Oatmeal Cookie is going to beat a candy bar, nutritionally, every time.
* Finally, give what your child likes. There's no point in giving healthy snacks that you know your child won't eat. Take them to the grocery store, add some new foods to their diet gradually, and make sure you feed them a balanced and varied diet at home. Most children tend to eat pretty well if offered a choice of different foods; and remember, just do the best you can and let it go.

HEY PEOPLE!! SINCE WHEN IS POP TARTS AND COOKIE CRISP, OREOS, AND HOT POCKETS HEALTHY SNACKS????? duh!!!
You can't get any easier or healthier than fresh fruit or cut up veggies!! You can make a dip for the fruit by mixing a little honey in sour cream and add a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon or let them put peanut butter on the fruit! Granola, yougert, raisins, nuts all healthy snacks! Make them smoothies by blending juice with fruit and a little yougert or milk. Cheese & crackers as long as it isn't processed cheese!

any fruit or vegetable that can be eaten raw like apples, bananas, and carrots. you can also add things to give them more flavor like raisins, and peanut butter or yogurt for dipping. a simple sandwich can be good to go with the furit and veggies. there are also some good microwave meals for kids and lunchables if your not too worried about calories and want more flavor. there's nothing like pb and j sandwiches with a glass of choclate or strawberry milk. yummy!
