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.
