Healthy Snack Ideas for Kids: Fruits, Carbohydrates, and Calcium for Growth and Nutrition

Fruits, carbohydrates and calcium

Rich in fiber and water, fruit compotes are a must. In commercial plastic, they are easy to put in your pocket. Homemade, they can be stored in plastic boxes. In addition, they have a much stronger flavor and nutritional power compared to industrial compotes.

Choose apple, apricot, banana or pear. In addition to their very sweet taste, these fruits are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, minerals and trace elements (potassium, zinc, copper). In your little one’s bag, also think about water bottles for hydration.

And milk briquettes for protein, calcium and vitamin D, essential for bone consolidation and growth processes. On the solid side, think of plain or chocolate madeleines, soft.

In the big leagues

To make your child accept his snack, do not hesitate to ask him for his opinion. Without giving in on everything, you can compromise. If he asks you for chocolate, for example, why not offer him… a mix!

Ideas ? Bet on the slow sugar/fruit duo: a portion of homemade marble accompanied by cut fruit, a milk bread with a chocolate bar and an apple, a sugar crepe with fruit juice without added sugar. The important thing is to avoid sodas and cakes rich in bad fats (trans-fatty acids).
