Snacking
Having healthy snacks at school is as important as having a healthy lunch. Use these tips and ideas for snacks that will help keep you energized throughout the day:
1
Think ahead.
Many snacks can be prepared in advance and enjoyed later. This makes it even easier to grab and go on busy mornings.
2
Pita power.
Spread a whole grain pita with hummus and roll it up. Or simply cut the pita into triangles and use it to dip into hummus or nut butter.
3
Grab some grapes.
Wash a handful of grapes and put them in a reusable container.
4
Easy edamame.
Edamame can be a fun snack in the shell or out. Microwave a handful of frozen edamame either at home or at school. Add some black pepper or cayenne for extra flavour.
5
Make your own trail mix.
Add whole grain cereals, different nuts or seeds, or popcorn. You can make it tasty by sprinkling it with cinnamon, paprika,
chilli powder or cumin.
