Snack on a Stick!

8/25/2019

 
Feeding Littles | We love this super fun and easy snack idea for kids, snack on a stick! Toddlers and young kids will love this as both a snack and an activity, perfect for after school. We included some allergy friendly options as well.

Add some fun to your kid's afternoon snack.

Any snack on a stick can help kids become more interested in eating - think about how much fun it is to eat food in this way! Make our peanut butter yogurt dip (see below for allergen modifications) and pair it with pretzel stick, plus strawberries on a skewer. Safety tip: use kitchen scissors to cut the sharp end off the skewer, and don’t serve this to a young toddler who may poke themselves! Always supervise eating, especially with new tools.

Megan's DEVOURED this snack. It was the perfect sweet, salty and crunchy combo that was also full of fiber, protein and fat (the three key nutrients for keeping our bodies full and our blood sugar more regulated).

To make the yogurt dip, combine:
  • 1 cup of full fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 T peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • maple syrup or other sweetener if desired, to taste (omit for babies).
​Stir well. This makes enough for 2 kiddos and 1 parent! 

Allergy Families: use Kite Hill almond yogurt or coconut yogurt instead of dairy yogurt, sunflower seed butter or almond butter instead of peanut butter, and gluten-free pretzels instead of wheat pretzels. Strawberry allergy? Serve with blueberries and bananas instead
