Pool Treats!

If you've been reading my blog long you know I have a love affair with www.Superhealthykids.com. If you haven't ever gone to their site take a minute and give it a look. There are so many sites out there that brag about having simple snacks and meals, but this site ACTUALLY has them. You can go there and get meal plans too! So so cool. This week they sent me an email on poolside snacks! You know those littles get so hungry playing outside. Fast yummy snacks are a MUST! Here are some of their ideas. I'm only listing the ones I've already tried. Go here for more.
  • Banana Boats Cut a banana in half lengthwise and spread with peanut butter. Then sandwich back together for less of a mess!  
  • Boiled Eggs and Veggie Sticks Packed full of protein, boiled eggs are easy to transport and filling. Veggie sticks are a given – by themselves, or great dipped in hummus for a little extra oomph!
  • Frozen Grapes Sweet, refreshing, and delicious! Never frozen grapes before? It is so easy.
  • Muffins Who says muffins are just for breakfast? Packed full of healthy carbohydrates, they are the perfect pool snack to give your kids lots of energy. Make them ahead, freeze them and then pull a few out for your next trip to the pool.
  • Homemade Lunchable
    Cheese, turkey, whole-grain crackers and your favorite fruit. Great for a pool-side snack or lunch!
  • Trail Mix I love this one because you can use anything you have on hand. Especially if you are almost out of several things. Just put them all together for a fun trailmix. I PROMISE your kids will love it!
