I am the mom of a seriously picky eater...of course, that is totally her dad’s fault and has absolutely nothing to do with me. Okay, I might be a little picky too… plus I like Skittles and Cheetos. A lot. I also have a little boy who would eat dirt just about anything, so he's not hard to please but loves food so much we might as well make the snacks fun right?
Finding healthy snacks that my kids (and I) will enjoy can be difficult. Here are some recipes that make healthy eating look like it might be fun!
These Frozen Fruit and Yogurt Rollups from TidyMom look like something I’d eat every day!! You can make a bunch of them in advance, which I love AND they’re frozen–perfect for the upcoming warm weather.
Speaking of Fruit Roll-Ups…who knew it was so easy to make your own? To make these, Shaina from Food for My Family starts off by making her own applesauce, which not only looks surprisingly easy but is a handy recipe all by itself.
When I was a kid, stuffed celery was one of my favorite snacks, and I love the addition of animal crackers in this recipe from BHG.com. That’s not just plain peanut butter, it’s smooth-as-silk peanut butter and honey dip. Yum!
This fruit rainbow from Tangled and True we used at the kids' last birthday bash back in March...we had a shamrock theme so we used the fruit rainbow with a tiny treat at the end of the rainbow, a small dish of Rolos....to my surprise, the only thing left at the end of the party? The ROLOS! I love fun and easy ideas like this, and the fact that the fruit can be swapped out to fit your kid’s taste makes it even better.
Living in rural Arkansas, mice are my mortal enemy. But if they all looked like this, we might be BFF’s! Strawberries are my little girl’s favorite fruit, and these just look too easy not to make for her. You can find this and some other fun and healthy snack ideas on FamilyFun.com.
I’m really excited to try some of these snacks out on my kids. Right now their favorite healthy snack is banana slices with granola or multi-grain Cheerios sprinkled on top. I’d love to hear what fun snacks your family is loving!
