Last week we did a bag of Pirates Booty and an apple sauce. She gets yogurt, cheese sticks and fruits as part of her lunch so I don't do those for snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844563 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 17:20:51 +0000 Mrsbells 2844563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apple slices<br /> Dried fruit<br /> Popcorn packs<br /> Pretzels<br /> Goldfish<br /> Grapes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844509 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 14:07:11 +0000 Snowybreeze 2844509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far we've alternated among:<br /> - grapes<br /> - pretzels<br /> - sectioned clementines<br /> - strawberries<br /> - blueberries<br /> - pear<br /> - cantaloupe</p> <p>Sometimes I throw in a goodie to surprise her:<br /> - Annie's gummy bunnies<br /> - cheetos<br /> - popcorn<br /> - milano cookie<br /> - chocolate chip cookie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844490 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 12:37:03 +0000 lioneyes 2844490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yogurt packs, goldfish, cut grapes, veggie sticks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844477 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 11:08:01 +0000 KT326 2844477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: My oldest has always been a pretty picky eater. I don't necessarily worry about balanced meals, I just look at what he is eating for the entire day. His biggest meal is at dinner time, I can usually get him to eat a lot of veggies, etc. But for my toddler, his biggest meal is at lunch time. He eats way better in the middle of the day then at the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844476 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 10:48:18 +0000 erinbaderin 2844476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, this has made me feel a lot better! Thank you for all the ideas, and also for saying that a protein at snack isn’t really necessary - I have way more ideas if I go with that. A carb and a fruit I can totally handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844475 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 10:47:33 +0000 KT326 2844475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are only allowed to pack one item for snack. They eat their snack right before recess, if they have a big snack it cuts into playing time. </p> <p>I've done:<br /> Cuties (already peeled and ready to eat)<br /> Strawberries<br /> Banana<br /> Granola bars<br /> Pretzels</p> <p>I don't worry about making sure it is a large snack, he gets lunch just over an hour later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844473 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 10:26:46 +0000 SupernovaJ 2844473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do yogurt and applesauce pouches, string cheese and raw veggies and fruit cut up into bite sized pieces. Edamame, chestnuts, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. </p> <p>Costco has these great mini energy muffins but my kids have yet to discover how amazing and delicious "baked" snacks are. And no, my kids don't only eat healthy. They have their fair share of junk food and processed snacks too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844469 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 10:16:38 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2844469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yogurt seems like a good idea, but I agree it would be easier to focus on protein at breakfast and lunch. Other idea would be hummus with pita chips or beef/turkey jerky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844464 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 09:50:24 +0000 Adira 2844464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you need to send a protein with the snack if they are getting protein at the other meals.</p> <p>Mine is allergic to pure milk, so our snacks include:</p> <p>Breakfast Bar<br /> Bagel<br /> Applesauce<br /> Grapes<br /> Strawberries<br /> Chex or Cheerios<br /> Mini Muffins</p> <p>I try to match a carb with a fruit usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844440 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 08:38:07 +0000 Anagram 2844440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yogurt, mini muffins (I make a big batch of banana choc chip or pumpkin choc chip), kids RX bars, mini Tupperware of fruit, a prepackaged fruit cup, we also do cheese, veggie straws, applesauce pouch, a full banana. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844411 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 07:23:23 +0000 RonjaL7 2844411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to do </p> <p>mini hummus<br /> cucumbers<br /> pirate's booty<br /> popcorn<br /> nutrigrain bar<br /> Gogurt or pouch<br /> dried fruit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844410 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 07:20:54 +0000 looch 2844410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The morning snack is the least important to me because my son eats a significant breakfast. </p> <p>If he eats too much snack, he then won't eat lunch at 11:30 so I keep it small. A small yogurt, a protein powder mini muffin, applesauce, crackers, that kind of thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844403 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 06:50:05 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2844403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our school has two “nutrition breaks” so I send a big amount and I’m not sure when he eats what. Today I’m sending:<br /> A kiwi<br /> Crackers<br /> Cheese<br /> Two turkey pepperettes (he loves these)<br /> A kiwi<br /> Sliced peppers and cucumbers<br /> Yogurt drink<br /> Apple sauce pouch<br /> Fruit leather </p> <p>He doesn’t eat it all but must prefers lots of small options to a sandwich. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844402 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 06:49:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2844402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about yogurt- either in a tube or one of the smoothies for ease? Hummus and carrots and crackers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-snacks#post-2844401 Mon, 10 Sep 2018 06:44:57 +0000 erinbaderin 2844401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you send for school snacks? Our school suggests the morning snack be relatively healthy, so last week I did goldfish crackers and cheese every day. It was a hit on day 1, but by day 4 none of it got eaten. This week I thought I’d change it up so this morning I had packed apples and cheese, and got “cheese AGAIN? I had cheese every day!” </p> <p>The thing is that I’d like to send some kind of protein with either fruit or crackers, but what? Today I sent ham, but that’s about all I can think of. They can’t have nuts (and B wouldn’t eat them anyway), and I’m at a loss. </p>
