here are some snacks I eat (some ideas I got from friends and some I do just because I am weird, see the egg one)... you can adapt them for kids, but this is just what I go for when I'm in a pinch...
- 1 organic apple with a tablespoon of Peanut butter on a spoon... scoop it out of the jar, don't leave the jar open for more dips... danger.
- peeled whole carrots (peel a bunch and keep them ready in your fridge)
- handful of fresh fruit... grapes, a peach, nectarine, or pear.
- no-bake energy bites
- home made cereal bars
- organic corn chips and home made salsa (12-14 chips is considered one serving... so be mindful)
- handful of raw nuts . I usually have TJ raw almonds on hand so that is my go-to.
- an egg. this sounds weird I know... but sometimes I just need some substance and I whip up a scrambled egg. Just for me around 2pm :)
- raw sunflower seeds
- and the best for last popcorn!!!!! ian's cousin in utah made us popcorn this way when we visited utah, our first christmas married... we usually use about 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, and pour a bunch of kernels in... turn on High, cover and let it pop. turn off the heat when the popping decreases and when you shake the pot, you don't hear a bunch of unpopped kernels rattling around. top with butter and sea salt. an air popper is ideal, i know, but its on my wish list for now!
happy well fed and nourished mommy means a better mommy to care for kiddos! happy snacking!
