With my daughter starting Kindergarten this year, I’m really worried about whats going into her mouth at school.  I think I will be packing her lunch everyday, but I also need to pack a healthy snacke for her to have at snack time. Plus if she wants a snack at home. 800-245 is a long day, its always good to have something waiting for them at home.

Frito Lays has put some tips and healthy recipes together to help with back to school.

Tips:

  1. sneak in the whole grains-Sunchips Multigrain has 18 G of whole grains, and Tostitos scoops have 8 G of whole grain
  2. Jazz Up Your Fruit- cut fruit into shapes, use cookie cutters or come up with themes.
  3. Dip It-pair fruit up with yogurt or your favorite chips with hummus.

Mediterranean Dip

  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt to taste

  1. I try not to have a sandwich every day. My daughter loves roll-ups of turkey and cheese. Maybe I’ll add some hummus this week to see how that goes.

  79. Whenever I want a snack, I always try to have fruit. If that’s not possible, then I will simply have cereal (without any milk) alone as snack.

  93. Make vegetable bowls and fruit bowls and store them in the refrigerator! To snack on and keep the chips on the table! First choice chips for me! ha!

  125. I have found making snack time fun for my son really works, such as making ants on a log (celery with peanut butter and raisins on top) and cutting sandwiches or cheese with cookie cutters.

  139. I love snacking on some hummas and baby carrots. You get your fiber and it curbs my hunger in the afternoon too.

  296. My tip is to make snacks just big enough to fit in snack sized baggies and you can decorate the baggie with markers. ….Tiffypoot @ (aol.com)

  332. we love to make Chirmol, which is like homemade salsa… we take some tomatoes and boil them and then remove the skins. Then we smush them up and add fresh cilantro and onions. If you want spice, add a bit of jalapeno, and don’t forget to add a little lime juice too. We love to eat it with Tostitos Scoops, so yummy!
