Making Snack Time Fun!
Over the last few weeks, our team has shared how they incorporate snack boards with their families. At my house, snacks are constantly being grabbed from the fridge and pantry throughout the day. When my first grader walks in the door after school, she is ravenous! Having a snack board ready for her with a mix of her favorite snacks and healthy options helps tide her over until dinner.
Snack Boards on the Go
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go on an adventure with my children. These adventures are usually not fancy. Checking out a local city, county, or state park tops our list. Over the years, I have become pretty good at packing for these spur of the moment trips. Packing a picnic version of a snack board makes a lunch where everyone can find something they like.
Make Ahead Snacks
This month has been all about snacks here on the blog. Snacks are also a must at my house to keep my 10-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son full between meals. My son often tells me we don’t have any good snacks in the house. Therefore, I’ve been thinking about how I can balance my desire for him to have a nutritious snack and his desire for something more fun than what I usually keep on hand.
“Mom, I’m hungry!”
As a mom of two young kids, it seems like I spend most of my day preparing meals and snacks. Now that my oldest is back at preschool, having planned snacks during the week saves me a lot of time when we are running to and from activities. I love snacks that can be thrown together quickly and are easy to transport wherever we find ourselves throughout the day.
