Smart Snacking

Here is a list that I keep posted in the kitchen to help the kids (and myself) make the best choices when we need a snack {or even a treat} in a hurry with little preparation!

Something that helps so much is weekend batch cooking. **You can freeze almost everything with great results!** Sunday is usually our day for baking up a batch of muffins, granola, cookies, tortillas, etc.  Just get your batters soaking Saturday night and get everything done while the oven is hot Sunday.  Pop it into the freezer and you have alternatives to processed food.

Chia Seed Pudding

Gelatin Cubes {finger jello}

Egg Drop Soup

Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies {freezer}

Sprouted grain {Ezekiel} toast with nut butter

Hard Boiled Eggs

Air Popped Organic Popcorn...Pop popcorn and top with 2 Tbsp. melted coconut oil and sea salt. 

Muffins {freezer}

Tortilla {freezer} with nut butter and banana

Fresh fruit and raw, unsalted nuts...Not all kids will eat nuts but my girls love them.

Dried Fruit

Plain Yogurt...1/2 to 1 cup plain yogurt mixed with frozen or fresh fruit/granola and hemp/chia seeds
