- 1 cut up apple with peal taken off
Depending on the child, some don't like the peel of the apple so I would take it off for the child to hopefully eat more and enjoy it. Instead of putting sugary jelly on the toast, I just put peanut butter for a tasty but healthier option.]]> 2019-02-08 16:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329276900 annadesorcy https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329276993 - cup of refrigerated vegetables 
* carrots
* celery
* cut up cucumber
This snack is good for getting your daily vegetable intake that is needed for a diet. The vegetables will be served plain without any ranch dip because it is unhealthy for the kid to eat and we don't want the kid to always want to eat vegetables with the ranch.

- homemade banana muffin

This snack is very filling and also very healthy. The homemade muffin will be very tasty and much more nutritious than a store bought muffin.

- green grapes 
- cup of water and cup of milk 
The child should not only be getting the daily recommended amount of milk a day, but also a healthy amount of water. The watermelon cubes and green grapes are both a sweet and juicy snack that kids love. Instead of watermelon slices, cut them into smaller pieces or even shapes to make it easier and more fun for the children to eat.]]> 2019-02-08 16:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277312 annadesorcy https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277356 - grilled cheese sandwich

- raspberries and blueberries on top of the waffles
- glass of skim milk

I would want the waffle to be made from scratch to provide the most health benefits possible. The raspberries and blueberries are tasty fruits that will add a bit of sweetness to the waffles. Also, add a cut up orange for an amazing source of vitamins to start the day off right. ]]> 2019-02-08 16:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277393 annadesorcy https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277442 - 1 cut up banana 
- 1 cup of plain yogurt 
- glass of milk
This snack is a tasty mix between the bananas and yogurt. It provides the child with protein from the yogurt and milk, and vitamins from the banana slices. ]]> 2019-02-08 16:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277442 annadesorcy https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277459 - cut up grilled chicken 
- green beans
- watermelon cubes 
- glass of skim milk 
The chicken should be prepared grilled because that is the healthiest option for anyone to eat, especially kids. Getting them used to and liking grilled chicken might keep them away from breaded chicken or chicken prepared in an unhealthy way. The green beans is a good vegetable kids love and the watermelon is a juicy fruit that is super sweet.]]> 2019-02-08 16:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277459 annadesorcy https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277513 - strawberry, blueberry, banana smoothie 
- 1 graham cracker
Instead of a smoothie bought from the store or a restaurant, an organic smootie made from only fruit and no added ingredients is a very good source of meeting the daily fruit requirements. The graham cracker is a good source of fiber and is over all a very healthy snack you can give you child. ]]> 2019-02-08 16:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277513 annadesorcy https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277540 - cheese quesadillas with mushed up avocado on top
- brown rice 
- baby carrots and celery
- glass of milk 
This dinner is a tasty mix of carbs, protein, and vegetables. I’ve recently tried this recipe of putting avocado on a quesadilla or at least on the side. It’s very tasty and it’s still simple enough for a child to enjoy. The brown rice is a healthy alternative to white rice and the vegetables provide vitamins and minerals. ]]> 2019-02-08 16:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/329277540 annadesorcy https://padlet.com/annadesorcy/gejdj1du8l21/wish/331427479
