3 Healthy Snacks Kids Love

 

 

If your kids are anything like mine, then you are struggling to get them to eat healthy. Check these three yummy snacks that'll surely make them forget they are eating healthy.

Baked Apple slices with cinnamon
 

Slice up red apples and sprinkle cinnamon on them.  Bake according to the texture you prefer.  My children like them to be a little crispy so I bake them on 350 degrees for 15 minutes.  Be sure to place parchment paper on the baking sheet before placing the apples on it.

Fruit Kabobs

These can be made with your child's favorite fruit. Make sure to make it colorful so it looks happy and fun.

Frozen Yogurt Dipped Strawberries

 

This low calorie snack is very simple to make.  All you'll need to do is dip strawberries in plain greek yogurt and freeze them.



Kick Start Monday!

Quick snack

Try this! Frozen blueberries in a sandwich bag as a refreshing summer time snack. I personally think frozen berries are tastier than refrigerated ones.  Let me know what you think.

TASTE THE RAINBOW!

Try this quick midday snack! Strawberries, apples, and grapes. This is quick and easy and takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. 

I've learned that healthy snacking is essential for boosting your metabolism. This will definitely help with weight loss as  a rapid metabolism helps the body burn calories faster.  I usually have this snack after lunch, around 2 hours before I workout.

Did you know there's protein in veggies?

I've been asked what sources of protein can we consume if we're not eating meat. Well here's a list of veggies and grains that you can eat to replace meat protein:

- Peas

For every half of cup, you'll get around 3.5 grams of protein

- Spinach

For every half cup, you'll get around 3 grams of protein

- Baked Potato

A medium potato contains around 3 grams of protein

- Broccoli

You can get around 2 grams of protein per serving

- Corn

One half cup of kernels provides around 2 grams of protein

- Brussels Sprouts

Every half cup provides around 2 grams of protein

- Chick Peas

Every serving provides around 8 grams of protein

- Artichokes

A medium sized on provides around 4 grams of protein

You don't need meat to gain energy! Try any of this in place of your meat protein for one of your meals and see how you feel.
