Like many of you, I often find myself grabbing breakfast on the run. But this can lead to trouble: high fat, high-sugar trouble; muffins, egg and cheese sandwiches, sweet sugared rolls, bagel with cream cheese trouble. Thankfully, though, my latest food find is a quick and simple snack that’s high in protein, not in fat. Its cottage cheese and cut up fruit. I like mine with strawberries and pineapples.

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of a snack is something sweet, salty, or crunchy, maybe something purely indulgent. But as most of us have come to realize, snacking is not just about satisfying cravings, but also being healthy.
This is particularly true when it comes to toddlers. Most toddlers do not eat enough at meal times to get their necessary nutrients. Healthy snacks not only prevent toddlers from becoming hungry and cranky, they also provide essential nutrients needed to fulfill their nutritional needs.
Here I am going to cover 3 wholesome snacks for tiny tots.

So, you’re puttering around your cupboards for a snack and you can’t find anything decent. What about that oatmeal stacked behind the cereal? Who’s to say that oatmeal is only delicious and nutritious in the morning, huh? And how about throwing in a banana for some added flavor? The combination is a quick, easy snack. Sweet, warm, and creamy – it just tastes like home.

I love anything coated in chocolate—chocolate-covered nuts, chocolate-covered fruit, chocolate-covered graham crackers, chocolate-covered chocolate… But how do you know which of these treats are in the good-for-you category, and when they’re in the once-in-a-while-indulgence category?

As wonderful and enjoying as snacking is, too often it is a cause of stress. Choosing a healthy snack on the fly isn’t always easy, and the stress of finding something pure and delicious can sometimes lead us into the arms of processed junk, fried foods, and refined sugars. Snack bars are convenient because you can buy a couple of them at a time and stash them away in your desk, car, or kitchen cupboard.
