Healthy snack ideas
Think about snacks as about mini meals and choose the same products as in the basic techniques. You probably do not offer your child a lunch with sweet drinks, and crackers that contain sodium. Instead you can use some simple ideas:
Mini-pizzas: Help your child to make pizza, using half whole-wheat baguette or small pita, sauce and grated cheese. Olives, carrots and other vegetables can be used for personal preference.
Snack Mix: Prepare small balls mixing dried fruits, nuts, sunflower seeds, or roasted soy nuts for good health. Give the children a bowl or small plastic container and let them mix it. Add a few chocolate mini-chips to sweet pleasure and flavor low-fat vanilla yogurt.
Some other healthy snack ideas
Fruit mix: Preschoolers like to experiment, so let them try to combine the various frozen or fresh berries and other fruits with a simple, low-fat yogurt or milk with low fat content. Put the fruit and berries in a blender, pour yogurt or milk, add 1 ice cube.
Hit a low-fat snacks popcorn for the microwave oven, sprinkle with grated parmesan.
