NURSE’S NOTES: HEALTHY SNACKS
Physiologically, kids need snacks. Their stomachs are small; they are constantly growing and are usually quite active. When kids get too hungry, they may become cranky and nd it hard to concentrate. Also, snacking is a good way for kids to get the daily recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. So what is a healthy snack? A healthy snack is rich in nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and water). The USDA Dietary Guidelines describe a healthy snack as one that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat milk products. Snacks should also be low in trans fats, cholesterol, salt and added sugars. Here are some examples of healthy snacks: Fresh fruits such as apples, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, mangos and bananas Hummus and vegetables such as carrots, peppers or celery Cheese and whole wheat crackers Dried fruit such as raisins Yogurt and unsweetened granola and/or fruit Carrot, zucchini or banana breads or muf ns Non-microwave popcorn String cheese with fruit or pretzels/crackers Guacamole and tortilla or pita chips Rice cakes Bagels or tortillas As Mr. Piltch said at Back to School night, try “to provide healthier choices for our kids particularly when it is a group snack/situation.” When bringing in a class snack remember to ask your child’s teacher about allergies in the classroom or other classroom activities on the day you plan to bring in your snack. Remember, healthy snackingleads to healthier kids!
