Snacky and don't know what to do? Snacking has been the most difficult for me as I am an almonds, apples and cheese kinda gal. Here is a list of my most favorite snacks:
CURRENT FAVORITE SNACK:
- Apple slices and Cookie Butter (from Trader Joe's)- kids love it too!
Other great snacks:
- Trader Joe's already sliced organic apples (sometimes coupled with Wheat Thins or pretzels or dip them in honey or Wow Butter (fake peanut butter)
- Homemade Granola (I take Giada's recipe which follows, omit the nuts and play around with carious dried fruit including TJ's dried fruit medley, or dried blueberries and banana chips): http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/homemade-cranberry-nut-granola-recipe/index.html. You can okay around with the baking time to make it chewy (less time) or crunchy (more time).
- Trader Joe's savory thin crackers and hummus (or their pretzel thins and hummus)- usually also eat some carrots to get some veggies in.
- Sunflower Seed butter and a hearty grain toast (am curious to use this instead of peanut butter in some baking recipes). If your baby is not too bothered by some soy products you can also try WOW butter at Whole Foods- tastes like peanut butter so great spread on graham crackers. Also spread on celery or a banana.
- Hearty grain toast with some preserves or other fancy jelly.
- Newman's Own Simply Salted or salt and black pepper microwave popcorn
- Salt Water Taffy and good red licorice (Sprouts has awesome taffy and Lassen's has some yummy licorice options).
- Julian's Sorbet Bars (I get them at Whole Foods or Sprouts)
- Cut up cantaloupe - if feeling fancy can eat with some proscuitto
- Chips and salsa mixed with Sour Supreme (really not so bad fake sour cream- especially when mixed with salsa!!)
