While in our homes, we have all the time to prepare snacks for our whole family. Preparing snacks can be an enjoyable activity during the weekend when every member of the family is at home. You can make your snack time a family affair where everyone can help in the preparation and share in the food later on. Aside from family bonding, you can prepare snacks that are good for everyone’s health.

 

During these days, where processed food snacks are all over stores, it is good to inculcate in the minds of our children the importance of eating healthy meals and snacks. When preparing snacks for our kids, it is always best to make them visually appealing, and, of course, the taste should not be compromised. This will let them forget the junk food that they buy when they are on their own. While you are preparing for the whole family, the snack should also appeal to you.

 

Here are some healthy snack options that you can prepare at home for all members of the family to enjoy during the weekend.

 

Spaghetti Squash

 

Carbs in our snacks may not be a healthy option if you always have them in your meals. While kids love spaghetti, it may not be an excellent idea if they have eaten a substantial breakfast. Substituting the spaghetti with spaghetti squash can do the trick. It does not only look and feel like real spaghetti, but you can have the option to add some flavors for it to appeal to your kids. This snack is low in calories but high in fibers, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. A healthy snack indeed.

 

Fruit Salad

 

A mix of apple, banana, peach, pears, pineapple, strawberry, and other fruits can make a good-tasting fruit salad. All you have to do is to slice the fruits available, add yogurt or the healthiest dressing you know, chill the mixture in your fridge, and you have a delicious and healthy snack for your whole family. 

 

Carrot Cake

 

We may not easily shrug off our cravings for bread or other baked products. Baking carrot cake, potato donuts, banana cake, and other cakes made of vegetables and fruits can satisfy your cravings. Now, you can blend strawberries for your smoothie to go with your cake.

Chicken Kebabs

 

Our children may want a different taste and feel on their next snack. You can bring out your grilling set and start grilling your chicken kebabs. This will let your kids appreciate the taste of chicken and forget about fried chicken for the time being. Aside from being healthier than fried chicken because they are grilled, kebabs also have some vegetable cuts in between them that make this snack option more complete.

 

For sure, your kids will always look forward to the weekend to be with you and to have all those delicious and healthy snacks.…
