Healthy snacks for school

Mealtimes provide a great opportunity to load your kids’ plates up with foods that pack a nutritional punch – but don’t discount the value of snack time either.  In fact, when you consider research shows that snacks typically provide around a quarter of young children’s daily energy intake, what they munch on between meals suddenly becomes more important than ever. 

The best snack suggestions will always involve fruit and vegetables,” says dietitian Shadia Djakovic, senior project manager for schools and community at the Healthy Kids Association.  Wholegrains and healthy sources of protein make good choices, too.
