Tip #1

Sneak In The Whole Grains

We all know whole grains are important, but how do you get kids to eat them when they’re used to white breads and pastas? It’s easy: Add it to their snacks! Frito-Lay has two great options your kids are bound to enjoy.

· SunChips multigrain snacks pack a whole grain punch with 18 grams of whole grains per serving. Portion out a serving into a reusable container for your kids’ lunch boxes or throw in a one-ounce bag for easy on-the-go snacking!

· Tostitos Scoops! tortilla chips are another great option. Made with just three simple ingredients – corn, vegetable oil and salt – they pack 8 grams of whole grains into each serving. Another great surprise about Tostitos Scoops!: A one-ounce serving contains less sodium than a slice of white bread!

Tip #2

Jazz Up Your Fruit

Fruit is always a go-to snack, but it’s not always the first choice for kids. Jazz up your fruit by making fun shapes!

· Cut apples into French-fry style strips.

· Use cookie cutters to make fun shapes out of cantaloupe.

· Take a peach and scoop out little balls your kids can pop in their mouths.

· Peel some grapes and call them “slimy eyes” to add some appeal.

Tip #3

Dip It!

Boost the nutrition of snacks by pairing some of your kids’ favorite munchies with nutrient-packed dips.

· Make fruit even more appealing by pairing them with flavored non-fat Greek yogurt. Not only will your kids love dipping the fun shapes, they’ll be getting calcium and protein in the snack as well.

· For chips, take the nutrient factor up a notch with healthier dipping choices such as Sabra hummus, or fresh salsa
