Due to the heavy influence of television commercials, children nowadays are fond of eating unhealthy fast food items such as burgers and fries from McDonald’s and Burger King. Most busy moms allow their kids to eat those kinds of food because they are affordable and convenient. After work or chores, moms can easily drop by or call any fast food chain for instant meals. It’s easy, I don’t blame you! Below I am going to share some easy to prepare yet healthy snacks for your children.
While your children are busy playing their favorite games at Fisher Price or Nick Jr., you can start preparing some snacks for them. You will still have enough time to play at http://www.cheekybingo.com/ too!
This popular bingo site has more than 40 game rooms to choose from and the games run 24/7 so you can join in any time you want. You can even do the following healthy snacks in between bingo games:
Yogurt Parfaits
This healthy and cool snack is easy to prepare. Mash up some fruits like berries and bananas using a fork. Combine the mashed fruits with low-fat yogurt and put the ingredients in tall glasses. You can ask your kids to create their own yogurt parfait by layering yogurt and fruit. You can even add granola, nuts, graham crackers, and other toppings.
Quesadillas
Kids love pizza and this healthy snack looks like pizza. Grate some cheese, slice pre-cooked chicken into small pieces, shred the lettuce, and dice the tomatoes. Put the tortilla on a heated skillet and add the ingredients on top. Fold the tortilla into two and cook the other side. Remove from the skillet and cut into pizza-like slices.
Smoothies
Smoothies do not only quench thirst, but also satisfy hunger so this is the perfect snack for your hyperactive kids. This do-it-your-own snack is fun because your children get to choose what fruits they want to turn into smoothie. It is best to use frozen fruits instead of crushed ice. You can freeze the sliced bananas, berries, pineapple and other fruits hours before making the smoothie. Put the chosen fruits in a blender and you can even add milk or yogurt for additional nutrition.
