All people need to eat healthy, but children in school are more likely to get enough nutrients. Children must learn healthy eating habits and have the proper fuel to focus during school.
Children can sometimes be difficult. Children may not always be able to agree to have peanut butter and celery sticks as school snacks. Natural sugars like those found in fruit can be a great way to get children to snack healthy, especially when they are short on time.
FruitProvides fiber and minerals to increase performance in class, give energy for sports, and curb appetites. Encouragement of children to eat fruits as a snack can help lower their risk for stroke, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure later in life.
You can be creative with your afternoon snack recipes during the school year. To add a hearty twist on a sweet snack, you can stuff different fruit mixtures into whole wheat tortilla wraps. Try this easy Banana and Raisin Wrap recipe by La Tortilla Factory.
