As a mother whenever I enter a grocery store or search on-line my "radar" is on for healthy snacks for my kids. I am sure many of you feel the same way I do that there are so many "junk" snacks out there. Don't get me wrong we do have "junk" snacks in our house but they are occasional... unless you are my husband who is a candy fanatic - if you want to make him happy give him skittles, starburst or Mike & Ike's... I still think he's missing out on the effect chocolate can have on a person!! ;)
So here are a few of my Healthy Snack finds:
-YumYumSnacks.com - Great website where you can find healthy alternatives for the whole family!
Some other great facts:
-Products approved by a Registered Dietician
-Products are all natural, vegetarian and many organic
-Products do not contain high fructose corn syrup, preservatives,
hydrogenated oils/trans fats, gmo's, artificial colors or artificial
flavors
A few of our favorites are:
- Clif Kid Organic Twisted Fruit Ropes
- Kettle Valley Fruit Bars
- X-Treme Fruit Bites
- Pirate's Booty Snack
- Cheddar Bunny Crackers
- Snackimals, Chocolate Chip Cookies
-Brownwoodacres.com - I came across this website while searching for fruit bars - which our family loves! They have Cherry, Blueberry and Pomegranate. They contain 100 calories, zero grams of fat and two servings of fruit per bar; plus they have a 2 year shelf life which I thought would be great for food storage and 72-hour kits. I have not personally tried them but I am ordering their "3 Pack Bar Sampler" to try. So I will let you know what the family thinks of them. Along with the bars they have other products one being Fruit Juice Concentrates which have great health benefits. Check out the website for more info and I will keep you posted of our opinion on the fruit bars.
Hope you find some helpful information at these websites for a healthier family! If you have other healthy snack ideas please comment and share! Happy Friday!
