What to do about snacks
I do really well planning for suppers, I'm a little better lately at having things available for lunches. But now I'm finding that my children are constantly telling me there is nothing available for snacks. And they're right. It's hard to find snacks for myself. We eat about two or three snacks a day. I would love for you to inspire me with some great snack ideas please.

Re: What to do about snacks
My kids don't have any diet restrictions, except that they are picky eaters. I'm allergic to eggs. I'm open to all ideas. I can figure out if they fit in our budget or not or maybe can be adapted to fit.

Fruit leather String cheese Muffins Cheese and crackers Graham crackers with PB or cream cheese English muffins Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: What to do about snacks
I would add to the list above: yoghurt and the healthiest version of potato chips

Re: What to do about snacks
I don't like having too many options because my oldest will just snack and be cranky. We usually have popcorn and fruit. Tortilla chips and hummus or guacomole. I put leftovers of dinner and make small containers of salad. My kids will totally eat salad if it is in one of those square plastic zip lock containers. My oldest guy loves it.

Re: What to do about snacks
I think both of my kids would like salad. That's a great idea.
