What are some healthy snacks for kids practice?

What are some easy snack ideas my kids can make and bring with them to ballet or sports practice? I see a lot of moms and kids head for the vending machines and I'd like to avoid doing that!


Some great ideas your kids can put together is a cream cheese or peanut butter wrap. It is simple for them to spread cream cheese or peanut butter on a tortilla and roll it up. They can cover it with plastic wrap for a later snack or eat it on their way out.


Another idea could be a nuts and cereal mix. You can make this over the weekend (and snack on it throughout the week) or just before leaving the house for practice.

Have different nuts available such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, cashews or almonds are all good choices. Mix them up with dry cereal, not the sugary kind, such as Cheerios, Corn flakes or Kix. Add in some dry fruit for a sweet flavor.



One more idea is to buy yogurt drinks that will be something they can take with them and doesn't require any preparation time. Just double check your yogurt drink isn't high in sugar.
