What To Add In Your Child’s Snackbox?

Any child will find it delightful to bring a snackbox in school, on playdates, on fieldtrips or wherever they need to go where they will spend several hours away from Mommy. Kids and even teens are always hungry and they don’t stop munching.

**There are many advantages in packing a snackbox for kids rather than having them buy outside.**

Even a simple snackbox that contains selections that kids will most likely eat will do. You can be meticulous in packing it or just a simple straight from the wrapper packing will do. The important thing is for them to carry your love and have nutritious snacks on their break time.

Instead of having them run to the nearest store or cafeteria, or ask from their friends or worst starve when there’s no store available, preparing a simple snackbox will be most fun and filling for them.

So what will be the healthiest food ideas you can think of to fill up your child’s snackbox?

Here are some ideas:

crackers
nuts
small seedless fruits (grapes, berries)
dried fruits (raisins, banana chips, dried mangoes, dried apricots)
wrapped bars (caramel bars, banana bars)
yogurt
cheese slices
croutons
fresh fruits (kiwi, apples)
pasta (mac and cheese, macaroni salad)

Why do we care and make effort in packing delicious snackboxes?

Our kids eat mom-approved foods
We are sure that these foods are clean because we prepared them
We are sure that these foods are safe and the kids don’t have to buy them from unknown sources or that there will be a need to accept food from strangers
These foods are healthy and we know how much sugar and salt are in these foods and if they are safe in case the kids have allergies
We can save we can buy in bulk
The kids remember us when they eat their foods

What else can you think of?

When preparing my kids snack boxes, I always try to ask them the brands that they like. That way, it saves me from making errors when buying and less wasted food.

For crackers, Magic Junior crackers have all these great flavors to choose from and I can pick one for the kids each day of the week. When Friday comes and we still have more crackers at home, they get to bring more in school and share with their friends.
