With school being back in session, my kids come home starving. When they are home they eat about every hour all day long. It is no wonder my food budget goes right out of the window during summer. They come home and they want to eat everything in sight, usually whatever junk food they can find. I want to make sure they are eating something healthy when they are snacking. To make things even one step harder, Serenity is in cheer, burning through calories and needing to make sure she gets the right kind of snacks in her system. But choosing the right snacks can be hard to do.

Whenever choosing snacks you want to aim to hit at least 2 food groups but you also want to have the sugar content under double digits. This can provide a challenge. Yogurt is a great choice, but it needs to be a Greek yogurt, like Oikos Triple Zero, and watch the sugar. Some of them are over the sugar limit.

Apples with peanut butter is a great choice, or other similar butters like sunflower butter or almond butter depending on your needs. But make sure that it is a natural butter and doesn’t have extra sugar and chemicals added to it.

Kids who like to have cereal can enjoy some of the Cascadian Farm organic cereals that can easily check off the boxes. Or give kids Vans waffles which are another great choice, especially with some nut/soy butter on top. These make for great grab and go breakfast ideas too. Even the cereals can be tossed in a bag and eaten on the go.
