Snack Time

So I thought I'd do a post highlighting some of our favorite snacks around here. I'd also love for others to leave comments to help me expand my arsenal of possibilities. Sometimes I can get in a rut of serving the same old things for days in a row. It's fun to switch it up from time to time. So below are some of our typical go-to snacks. I usually like to offer two things - one protein/fiber option and one carb. For example, I will do goldfish crackers AND grapes or cheese AND crackers. Hope that makes sense! :)

goldfish crackers
peanuts (a staple in our home)
raisins
cheerios (especially when younger)
veggies & dip
graham crackers (with peanut butter)
granola bars
homemade trail-mix
fresh fruit (apples, bananas, grapes, peaches, oranges, melon, etc)
string cheese
vanilla wafers
yogurt (sometimes frozen, as a special treat)
popcorn (for movies)
pretzels
smoothies (just yogurt + orange juice)
pb&j crackers

nutri-grain bars
popsicles (VERY rarely, and used as rewards)
wheat thins with hummus


I think that's about it. Like I mentioned, I would love to get some other ideas...preferably healthy snacks with low sugar, low sodium, and good amounts of protein or fiber. What are YOUR go-to snacks? Please share!! :)

  1. A favorite in our house is Ants on a Log (celery, pb, and raisins). It amazes me every time that Elise will eat celery!
