what works for us is breakfast with a snack around 10 lunch at 12:30, snack around 3 and dinner at 5:30. we try to limit desserts and sweet snacks.
here's a list with ideas!
- apple slices and peanut butter
- crackers (triscuits have the least amount of ingredients with the highest fiber) and cottage cheese
- yogurt with frozen fruit (greek yogurt tends to be lower in sugar)
- bagel with Nutella
- fish crackers(whole grain), string cheese and cherry tomatoes
- veggies (bell pepper, cucumber(with skin), carrots, celery, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes) with dip (hummus, bean dip, light dressing)
- applesauce(natural, no sugar added) with granola
- sugar-free pudding with banana slices
- baked potato fries (regular or sweet potato)
- open face grilled cheese (whole grain english muffin or tortilla)
- whole grain tortilla with peanut butter and banana or apple
- popcorn (lowfat, no heavy butter, i like smart pop)
- high fiber granola bar
- whole grain tortilla roll up with turkey, cream cheese and tomato
- cheese and crackers
- "ants on a log"
- fruit skewers
- veggie and cheese skewers
- smoothies
- hard boiled egg
all this talk of food is making me hungry...good thing it's almost snack time!

hey those are some good snack ideas....i think i may try some of them. :)
Thanks Wendy for getting those to me. We have done really good today on eating only healthy choices. My kids didn't even seem to notice. Your awesome and always so good at giving your kids what they need!
I needed some good snack ideas thanks. We just got some banana chips with not fat and no added sugar and my kids love them. Also dried apples
Loved this post. I'm a compulsive snacker and I need to figure out a way to make it healthier.
But I'm still devising a way to make caramel brownies tonight and not think about it. ;)
