Upgrade Your Snack Game!

Looking to upgrade your boring snack game for your kids at home during social isolation?

Upgrade Your Snack Game

Try these tummy-filling apple rings! Apples have been the ONE fruit I have been able to consistently find at the grocery stores and they pack a nutritious and delicious punch.

  1. I recommend starting with a Granny smith apple as they are slightly lower in sugar and carbs, 22% higher in fiber, and contain 63% more protein than their red apple counterparts.
  2. Start by rinsing the apple really well. Core the middle of the apple and slice it sideways so you have a donut shaped ring.
  3. Choosing a base like peanut butter, almond butter, or chocolate hummus will give you a good, sticky base for other toppings to stick and provides a great source of even more protein and satiating fats to keep you and your kiddo fuller for longer.

 

Now the fun toppings! You can try adding:

  • Toasted or regular coconut flakes or shreds
  • Dark chocolate chips (or semi sweet chips)
  • Yogurt chips
  • Yogurt drizzle
  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Marshmallows
  • Crushed cocoa nibs
  • Cereal bits
  • Pretzel pieces
  • Any other nuts 
  • Dried fruit or banana slices

The possibilities for creative snacking are endless! Enjoy!
