Healthy Snack Alternatives

Banana & Vanilla Smoothie



1 frozen banana
1 cup of vanilla lowfat yogurt
1 tsp. honey (optional)
1/2 tsp of ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/4 cup of chopped nuts or a nutty cereal ( I use either chopped walnuts or Grape-Nuts cereal.)

You can also add strawberries!

Chop up banana into large chunks. Put all ingredients into a blender and blend for about 2 minutes. Pour into cup. Sprinkle a little ground nutmeg and nuts on top. Enjoy! This definitely satisfies the need for sweet.

Kids Snack Tray that moms can enjoy too!

Sliced peppers- You can use green, yellow, or red.
Sweet tomatoes-sliced small for kids
Hummus- Homemade is healthier, but  premade is good too.
Gala apples-Cut into small pieces for kids


Hope you try and enjoy these! I'm getting ready to try a new sandwich for the kids. I plan on making panini's using whole wheat bread, low-fat cream cheese, and strawberry preserves (no added sugar). I 'm hoping the panini will be a hit too!
