Step Two Snacks

Seriously this is a huge down fall in our house at times. I keep plenty of fresh fruits and veggies that are ready to eat ready for anyone who wants a snack. Yes this means one day I spend about one hour washing and cutting and prepping the said goods for snacks. A fun and very popular snack in our house is frozen grapes. Just wash them up and throw them in a baggie in the freezer. Another snack that's popular is a little bag of salad. I bought little containers that are filled with homemade dressing that are easy to dump into the salad for a small snack. I'm talking like a 100 calorie snack that is quite popular. Buy big blocks of cheese and chop it into cubes and place tooth picks in the container with them. My kids love eating cheese for a snack if they have the little sticks. Another popular snack is fresh fruit or veggie kabobs. They place their favorite veggie or fruit on a kabob stick and they eat the whole thing. Also if you buy pretzels, crackers, chips, or whatever divide them right away into snack size bags. Have healthy snack easily available and ready for when you have the urge to snack.

I'll be spending the next few days showing our favorite snacks and portion sizes on the snacks.
