Preparing A Snack For A Child To School: Healthy And Tasty Combinations

In order for your child to grow up healthy and active, his diet should not only be tasty, but also healthy.

In order for your child to grow up healthy and active, his diet should not only be tasty, but also healthy. During the day, children spend a huge amount of energy, and in order to quickly replenish it, in addition to a full meal, small snacks are required.

At home, keeping track of what your child eats is easy, but not at school. That is why we suggest you prepare a snack for your child yourself, and we will suggest healthy and tasty combinations.

1. Assorted nuts and dried fruits.

 

Throwing different types of nuts and dried fruits into a lunch box is easy, but why not do it wisely? A growing body simply needs healthy trace elements, the right fats, minerals and antioxidants. Walnuts, peanuts, almonds, prunes, dried apricots, figs and dates are ideal for replenishing them. They not only give a feeling of fullness, but also strengthen the immune system, improve vision, hearing, memory, and compensate for the lack of iron in the blood.

2. Oatmeal bars.

 

What child doesn't like sweets? These probably don't exist. Why buy chocolates and bars in the store if you can make them at home quickly, tasty, and healthy.

You will need: oatmeal, any finely chopped fruit (raisins, dried grapes, cranberries, blueberries, raspberries are ideal), a few tablespoons of honey (depending on the amount of oatmeal and fruit), you can add a small amount of coconut milk if desired. We mix all this together, put it on parchment paper with small plates 2-3 cm high, send it to the oven for 15-20 minutes, cool it and pack it in parchment.

3.Sweet sandwich with fruit and cottage cheese.

 

Cottage cheese or cottage cheese mass is a great alternative to chocolate, which we used to use when making a sweet sandwich.

You will need bread with dried fruits or bread for toast (can be fried in a toaster), fruits (bananas, kiwi, plums, peaches are great) or berries, cottage cheese or curd mass. If regular cottage cheese seems too dry, you can add honey or maple syrup to it.

We generously grease both slices of toast with cottage cheese, put your favorite fruits or berries between them. Cut the sandwich into 2 parts, wrap in parchment paper and put in a lunch box.

4. Rolls with chicken and vegetables.

 

Such rolls perfectly satisfy hunger, and the filling contains the necessary proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The most important thing is to choose the right sauce, and not use harmful store-bought mayonnaise or ketchup.

The sauce is best made from 15% sour cream, adding finely chopped dill and parsley, a couple of pinches of salt to it.

For the filling, take boiled chicken, finely chop it or tear it into fibers. Also cut cucumbers, bell peppers, any leaf lettuce. Cut the pita bread into small pieces to make the rolls small, put the stuffing in them, add the sauce, wrap and fry in a dry pan. Pack in parchment.

5. Carrot fries and fruit pita.

 

Many children love french fries and we offer a healthy alternative.

Cut the carrots into thick strips, put on parchment paper, sprinkle with a little maple or caramel syrup, put in the oven for 15-25 minutes.

While the carrots are drying, prepare a delicious fruit pita. Use fruits that give little juice, namely pear, apple, kiwi, you can also take berries: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries. Finely chop everything, season with plain yogurt without additives, put in pita. Your child will definitely be surprised by the unusual sweet sandwich and french fries.
