My kids love apples--either "as is" or apple slices with sugar free caramel dipping sauce once in a while.

They also like baby carrots and ranch dressing.

chunked Strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe and/or honeydew layered in an ice cream cone with berry yogurt. This goes over big especially in this heat!

Frozen 100% juice pops made by freezing juice in popsicle holders

English muffin pizzas are great for an after school snack

A mix of raisins, pnuts, mini pretzels and a few M&Ms. I occasionally add sunflower seeds to this.

Ham and cheese roll ups nuked to warm up.

Sugar free Jello measured out in lunchbox-sized containers

Mini pretzel sticks with little cheese cubes so that Andy can "spear" them to eat them.

zucchini bread or applesauce bread

Mini muffins --I make 'Minis' out of the applesauce bread or zucchini bread recipe.

Andy loves Triscuits, Wheat Thins or even Saltine crackers with meat and cheese--homemade Lunchables.

My kids will eat a lot of stuff if it's stuffed in a tortilla. I will spread one with pb&j, roll it up and slice into pinwheel pieces for a snack. This works great with lettuce, cheese and a little Ranch dressing, too.



Now that school is starting again, I am on the lookout for new ideas. I try to make sure that Andy has a main course (usually a sammy), a fruit, a veggie and a snack of some sort + a drink for his lunchbox.
