Our go to snacks are...
1) Hummus and pita bread
2) Mixed fresh berry bowl (strawberry/blueberry/raspberry/blackberry)
3) String cheese and grapes
4) Fresh fruit/yogurt smoothie (we will use frozen fruit if berries are not available)
5) Otter Pop!
6) Protein shake w/ fresh fruit mixed in

Ton of great ideas here! WOW! And reading them has made me hungry, so I had to stop! One thing the kids love is tortillas spread with peanut butter, drizzled in honey, sprinkled in granola. Rolled up and then cut into pieces, Little wheels of yum!

that's a great list!

I like:

1. lowfat yogurt
2. string cheese and some good crackers
3. almonds
4. the Fiber One granola bars--they're like a candy bar that's good for you!
5. carrots are always good
6. celery dipped in mustard (that's
pretty much no calories, so almost no nutritional value, either)
7. pretzel sticks dipped in mustard and a diet Dr. Pepper (again, not really healthy!)
