Healthy Snacks – Dried Fruits!
Changing the texture of the fruit or vegetables is a great way to help children eat more variety of fruits. For today’s snack have your child try dried fruits! Grapes (raisins), mango, coconut, or bananas all come in dried options! They taste great on their own but you can also add them to many snacks. Add dried fruits to trail mix, yogurt and oatmeal, or put on celery with peanut butter. They are a healthy source of energy and fiber and are convenient to eat!
