HEALTHY SNACKS
Healthy snacks help manage kids' hunger and boost nutrition. Healthy snacks can keep them from getting so hungry that they get cranky and thus focus better during instruction. Healthy snack options also help prevent overeating at meals. And for picky eaters of all ages, snacks are a chance to add more nutrients to their diets.
The best snacks are low in sugar, fat, and salt. Fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and protein foods are good choices. An occasional treat is fine, but we encourage you to send healthy snacks most of the time.
