All to often we forget about protein in snacks. These yogurt buttons made from Greek Style yogurt are packed with 9 essential nutrients from milk – calcium, potassium, phosphorus, protein, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B12, riboflavin, and niacin.
Fish in a River
A take on the traditional Ants on a Log for kids with a nut allergy to Fish in a River. Having a snack that kids can make helps them to build confidence in their ability to nourish their bodies. Have them try building this fun and easy snack to get them in the kitchen.
Lastly, we want to keep kids hydrated over the summer. Being at the beach or all day at camp kids will be active and needing hydration. Pack along a water bottle filled with water and encourage them to have at least 1-2 before you pick them up at the end of the day.
