Healthy Snacks for Kids

Posted by AregM

I’ve put together a list of healthy snack foods – they have each been tested (and yes, approved!) by thousands of kids. Enjoy! Polly-O String Cheese (part skim) • You can never go wrong with low-fat cheese – and the added work of pulling the stick cheese apart will keep your kids busy for a while. • Whether it’s all white or a white/yellow combo, one stick typically provides 150 milligrams of calcium (that’s 1/2 the amount in an 8-ounce glass of milk). Glenny’s Soy Crisps • One small bag provides 140 calories.
