Snacks can be both fun and nutritious! Growing kids need the right fuel to stay active and focused throughout the day. Choose snacks that combine protein, fiber, and healthy fats — such as apple slices with peanut butter, cheese sticks, whole-grain crackers, or yogurt with fruit. Avoid sugary snacks that cause energy crashes and look for colorful, natural options to keep kids interested. Getting children involved in snack prep can make them more excited about eating healthy — let them help wash fruit, mix trail mix, or choose veggie sticks for dipping. At Beautiful Beginnings Daycare, we encourage healthy eating habits by offering nutritious snack options and teaching children about the benefits of good food choices in a fun, engaging way.
