Snack

In our commitment to promoting a healthy environment for all students, we ask that parents and guardians pack their child a healthy snack for the day. Healthy snacks are great for keeping kids energized and focused throughout the school day. Here are some nutritious and kid-friendly snack ideas:

Fresh Fruit: Apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, and berries are all easy to pack and eat. For variety, you can mix fruit into a fruit salad or create fruit kabobs.

Vegetable Sticks: Carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, and celery sticks are crunchy and satisfying. Pair them with a small container of hummus or yogurt dip for added flavor.

Yogurt: Greek yogurt or regular yogurt can be a good source of protein and calcium. You can add fresh fruit or a sprinkle of granola on top.

Cheese: String cheese or cheese cubes are easy to pack and provide calcium and protein. Pair them with whole-grain crackers for a balanced snack.

Crackers: Look for crackers made with whole grains. Pair them with cheese or a slice of turkey for added nutrition.

Trail Mix: Make your own trail mix with a mix of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and a few dark chocolate chips. Opt for unsweetened dried fruit and nuts without added salt.

Muffins: Bake muffins using whole grain flour and add in fruits like blueberries or bananas. Look for recipes with lower sugar content.

Popcorn: Popcorn is a whole grain snack that’s low in calories. 

Rice Cakes: Whole grain rice cakes are a light snack. Add a slice of cheese for added nutrition.

Hummus and Pita Bread: Whole wheat pita bread cut into wedges with hummus.
