How to Feed Your Picky Eaters Healthy Snacks

Do your picky eating kids want nothing but sugar filled candy and softdrinks for snacks? Find an alternative to get them on the track to healthy snacking.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• green/purple grapes
• apples
• oranges

1. Do your kids always complain about everything you try to give them unless it is candy? Green grapes are always a great snack on a hot summer day. They are even better frozen. Buy a pack of any type of grapes you choose, throw them in the freezer for a few hours to get hard and chilled. Snack away!

2. Get a bag of oranges, slice them up and put them into a freezer bag. Freeze the oranges for a few hours and when your kids are wanting a little snack, pull them out. They are easy for little fingers to hold, cold to cool you off in the heat and they still have a lot of the orange juice in them that is healthy for your child to be drinking.

3. Apples are a great treat with a little peanut butter on the side. You can slice the apples into circles. Slicing straight down the apple instead of quarters. When you are done slicing a few apples, place peanut butter on one side of an apple slice and lay another slice over it. It is a refreshing peanut butter and apple snack for your little ones tummy.
   These are some great ways to make the healthy snacks a little different to present to your picky eaters.

Tips & Warnings

• If your child has a peanut allergy, forgo the last snack idea. Maybe use light whipped cream instead.
