At least once a week I stock up on fruit – lots of it. I like to have healthy foods on hand for snacking for myself and the kids. I play my favorite tunes, grab my best kitchen knife, a cutting board and chop away. My kitchen is a mess for about 20 minutes, but all of the fruit is ready for school snacks. Here are some tips for healthy snacking:
- Wait for sales. Every grocer has them, usually Thursdays, as new stock typically arrives before weekends. (If it's different where you live, find out when they mark things down.)
- Do not put fruit away when you get home. Wash it immediately and leave it out.
- Chop away! Have your kids help, but be warned, lots of that fruit will disappear while chopping.
- Sort into little reusable dishes or storage containers so they are ready to take along – and eat!
