Healthy Summertime Snacks

"I'm hungry!"  I will be hearing this all summer long with three growing children in my home.  Here is a list of some of our favorite summer snacks that not only satisfy hungry tummies, but provide energy and nutrition for healthy, happy kids.


cubed cheese on toothpicks
pretzels dipped in peanut butter
apple wedges
carrots and broccoli served with ranch dip
fruit leather
trail mix
popcorn, goldfish and pretzel mix
raisins
celery with peanut butter
graham crackers with a glass of chocolate Ovaltine
pretzels dipped in Nutella
crackers with thin slices of cheese 
grapes on a toothpick
mini muffins
lettuce wedges lightly drizzled with dressing
granola bars
frozen yogurt sticks
fruit juice
dry cereal in a cup
apple sauce 
mini bagel with cream cheese spread
nuts


Today we celebrate the last day of school!  We are looking forward to a summer filled with lots of family fun.

Thanks for the great list of healthy snacks for grandchildren who may stop by. Hurray for summertime--a time to enjoy fun projects, more time to play with pe-school age members of the family, time to swim, relax and take a trip to see grandparents! Congratulations on a successful year at school, Nathan and Maren!
