Having the right snack after school, can make the difference between a weak, and a strong immune system. We have seen tons of reports on how the right diet can keep your child healthy. Unfortunately since parents are not in school with their kids and they can not watch and monitor everything that they are eating during the lunch hour it can be difficult. Especially if you combine this with a busy morning to start with. That’s where a healthy snack comes into the picture. As a mom I realize that many parent’s just don’t have the time to spend finding healthy recipes. So in order to save you some time this year, I compiled the list of the top websites with healthy kids friendly snack ideas. Have more than what is listed place them in the comments section below the article.
Disney’s Family Fun site
This site has some of the cutest ideas I have ever come across for a healthy kids snack time. Not only are these recipes healthy, but they are cute as well. Looks might not matter to many but it does make a difference with kids. Especially those who may not like eating healthy. Of course they have some not so healthy snacks, but I would recommend that you stick with some of the healthy ones. For example, vegetable flowers, is a great one to start with. What is really nice about the recipes on this site is that you can make them ahead of time and have them ready when your child comes home. Just make sure you store them properly if you are going to make them ahead of time.
