The Feeding Your Kids program tackles childhood and teenage obesity by providing concrete ways to help families eat healthier and serves as a tremendous example of how our members are improving lives around the world."
- President Bill Clinton

Snacks: General

Snacks are the Achilles heel of healthy feeding. It is an area saturated by unhealthy processed crap which is addictive. There are a few ideas you can use to guide your action.

Combine snacks to offer two to three food groups at the same time:

Chips with hummus
Fruit with yogurt and nuts
Cheese with crackers
Crackers with peanut butter and fruit
Pretzels with a glass of milk

Why does this work? It is more substantial and nutritious than eating the chips, crackers, and pretzels alone, in effect a mini-meal. This method also helps with portion control.

Read the label! Not all chips / crackers / pretzels are the same.

No trans fat
Lower sugar
Lower salt
Fewer ingredients
Whole grains
