Great Tasting Back-to-School Snacks
It's back-to-school time and if you've got kids at home, that probably means your pantry is jammed with family packs of snacks that aren't good for you and aren't good for your children-but man are they convenient. With all of the new foods on the market, the snack aisle can be a daunting place for a health-conscious mom who's trying to feed her kids nutritious foods and avoid unnecessary temptations for herself.
"When it comes to snacking, what's good for the child is good for the parent," says Elizabeth Ward, RD, author of MyPlate for Moms, How to Feed Yourself and Your Family Better. "I don't make a distinction between what kids are eating for snacks versus what parents should be eating. You can feed kids of all ages the same foods, you change the portion sizes." (Related: 6 Healthy Recipes To Cook With Your Kids) Ward says snacks should consist of whole foods whenever possible and should contain protein and carbs and fiber if you can squeeze it in, too.
We know you're going to want to munch on your kids' snacks too. That's why we found the healthiest options out there. Here, 10 healthy kids snacks moms and dads will want to steal. The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution—Eat This, Not That 2012!
