Snack Time
Make some healthy snacks with your child.
Fruit Salad
• With plastic knives, invite your child to help wash, peel, and cut up fruit
such as bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and oranges
• Try something new—add a kiwi, a mango, or another fruit that is new to
your child.
• Put the fruit in a large bowl and stir.
• Let your child serve some into a bowl.
• Enjoy!
Vegetable Soup
• Let your child choose some fresh vegetables from the grocery story
or use leftovers.
• Let your child clean and help you break up the vegetables.
• Put all the vegetables in a crock pot or large pot for the stove.
• Add a large can of tomato juice and some chicken or vegetable broth
or water.
• Put the crock pot in a safe place or place a large pot on the stove, and
cook on medium-high until your soup is ready for lunch or snack.
• Enjoy how it smells as it cooks!
Whole Wheat Pancakes
• Let your child help measure and mix this recipe:
1 cup and 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons applesauce
1 cup and 2 tablespoons water
1 ½ teaspoons baking power
a pinch of salt
add some blueberries, if desired
•
Sift the dry ingredients together. Add applesauce and stir until the ingredients
are just wet. (You don’t want the batter to be too thin.) Heat an
electric frying pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Pour a small
amount of the batter onto the hot pan to make several pancakes (adults
only). When each pancake is brown on the bottom, turn and cook the
other side. Serve with a small amount of syrup. Yum!
