Staying healthy and building strong muscles is essential for children as they grow. Good nutrition and exercise are two important factors. One way to support a healthy lifestyle is to encourage your children to “snack better!” Instead of potato chips, choose fresh-popped popcorn. Instead of cookies, choose fresh fruit like grapes. Below is a list of fun and healthy snack ideas for both you and your children. Lead by example – if you make good snack choices, they will learn to make good choices too!

Healthy snack ideas:

• Nuts – almonds, peanuts
• Quesadillas served with salsa
• Fresh popped popcorn
• Fresh vegetables – carrots, tomatoes, broccoli
• Apple slices with peanut butter
• Yogurt
• Fresh fruit: grapes, strawberries, oranges
• Fruit Kabobs with yogurt dip
