7 Kid Friendly Snacks for Spring Break!

The excitement of spring break is upon us and most of us will be traveling long distances. In order to prepare for the journey, below are our Top 7 Kid-Approved Healthy Snacks:

1. Drinks: Have them fill up their own water bottle with a squeeze of lemon & slice of fresh ginger or frozen raspberries.
2. Veggies & Dips: carrots, snap peas, celery sticks, peppers and hummus or guacamole. Kids will dip anything!
3. Trail Mix: nuts, seeds, dried cranberries, dark chocolate, yogurt raisins
4. Baked Chicken Wings: make ahead & pack to go! Bake wings in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hr with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until crispy! Yum!
5. Taco Lettuce Wrap: bring washed lettuce leaves and wrap slices of chicken breast, tomato, cheddar & salsa.
6. Egg Dishes; Hard Boiled Eggs or even Frittata (recipe below)
7. Sliced Apples with Almond Butter:  I bring whole apples and a small cutting board.  The apples travel well and the kids are always excited to have a shmear of almond butter!

Go for organic when available!
