On the Go snack ideas

My friend makes mini-muffins that have carrot and zucchini in them. She makes them with agave and apple sauce instead of sugar. I'm sure you can find recipes easily for healthy muffin snacks.

I don't know if that's healthy enough for you, but they're q quick and portable snack. She keeps them frozen; by the time they're ready to be eaten, they've thawed.

Good luck!

I was going to suggest "peas and cheese". Frozen peas thaw and keep small pieces of cheese cold.

Great idea!

We do sunflower seeds here for a quick, protein snack.

Cut up fruit like apple slices and grapes cut in half, cheese sticks, and soy beans are our on the go snacks.

If your child is melting down, it may very well be that their blood sugar is down. They need something with protein and fat in it, not just carbs. which will pick them up but then drop them right down again in another mood swing later.

Cheese stick and crackers
Protein granola bar
Protein shake (can be as simple as 4oz. of yogurt--Greek for extra protein--mixed with a splash of milk to loosen it up; stir well. Serve in a straw cup that has a lid such as Thermos or Take n' Toss).
