Purchase snack size bags (they're very convenient) to make your own.
Here they are:
1 small orange
1 Cup Watermelon
2/3 Cup Cocoa Puffs
13 Stauffer's Animal Crackers
15 mini Carrots
3/4 oz. Cheddar Cheese
3 Tbs. Raisins
2 Twizzlers
6 Reduced Fat Triscuits
7/8 Cup Cheerios
1 C Celery Slices
2/3 Cups Mini Marshmallows
12 Soy Crisps
1 Cheese Stick and 5 slices shaved Ham
In addition, I pulled another article from the April '07 issue regarding Power Snacks. Here are those ideas.
Veggie dip: Slice fresh vegetables into thin strips & serve w/ Hummus
Turkey Tortilla: Place deli turkey, low-fat mozzarella & lettuce on whole-wheat tortilla.
Roll tightly, seal and refrigerate. Cut into one-inch slices.
Sweet smoothie: Blend a banana w/ one cup nonfat milk and two tablespoons Ovaltine.
You can add variety by mixing in other fruits, yogurt & peanut butter.
Yummy Yogurt: Mix low-fat yogurt w/ a low-fat granola and dried cranberries.
Ants on a Log: Fill celery sticks w/ peanut butter & top with raisins
Fruit Kabobs: Place melon chunks, pineapple wedges & grapes (sliced in half if your child is under 4)
on an ice-pop stick, alternating fruit w/ small cubes of low-fat string cheese.
Use yogurt for dipping.
Ode to Oatmeal: Top oatmeal w/ one tablespoon peanut butter and one tablespoon raisins. Mix and serve.
Perfect Parfait: Layer low-fat cottage cheese and sliced fruit in a parfait glass or clear cup.
Hope these are useful for you!
