If you’ve got kids that complain about healthy snacks, it’s time to make healthy snacks more appealing! Here’s a few tips

-Decorate muffins with healthy food such as cream cheese frosting, raisins and peanuts (a great alternative to cupcakes with candy decorations!)

-Make ants on a log with celery, Cheez Whiz and raisins. You can also do this with peanut butter instead

-Make healthy bagel or english muffin pizzas by using chopped vegetables as toppings. You can do the same with fruit for a dessert pizza!

-Make trail mix with healthy stuff but insert just a few treats so the child doesn’t feel completely deprived of junk. Just a few Smarties in with a healthy trail mix or candied peanuts when most of the mix is raisins, nuts, dried fruit, etc can work really well.

A little imagination can help your child eat healthier without their feeling like they’re being deprived of the yummy stuff.

If you’ve come up with great healthy snacks for your kids, feel free to share!
