nothingwithoutjoy | If I want kids to eat veggies for snack and worry they won't eat them, I do the opposite of what you're saying: I make sure to offer no easy alternative like crackers. Given a choice, kids'll always choose crackers or bread. So I offer several choices of veggies instead. If they're hungry enough, they'll eat them. A typical snack here in the summer is a plate of snap peas, green beans, carrots, and cucumbers. It all gets eaten. | |

Many of my children can't have dairy - here are some of our favorite snacks: *Applegate turkey hotdog and raw veggie *Nitrate free ham/turkey or shredded chicken and raw (or lightly steamed) veggie *PB and apples *Ants on a log (celery, PB and raisins) *"Sushi" (whole wheat tortilla, PB and thinly sliced banana rolled up and then sliced to look like sushi) *Homemade fruit smoothies with added kale and spinach *Lightly steamed broccoli and plain triscuits *Hard boiled eggs served with fruit or sliced thin and put on wheat bread *Beans...my kiddos love black and pinto beans *Hummus and veggies or hummus and pita bread *Nuts and dried fruit (our favorite is cashews and dried cherries) |

My kids love chik peas for snack, or black beans. This time of year, you can do protein and a fruit as popsicles, and can make them with almond milk for the protein. I do lots of nuts at snack. |

So, I'm in need of some new snack ideas. I try to do a protein and a veggie or fruit, but most of my protein ideas are dairy. We do yogurt, cheese stick, cottage cheese, etc. I have a new dcg starting full time this week and she is lactose intolerant so I'm trying to come up with new ideas. We do a lot of peanut butter, but any suggestions would be welcomed ![]() |
