That all sounds very yummy! Does your preschool supply snacks or do the parents or teachers?0

Those are my snack ideas our school follows usda and is very strick on the meals and snacks we can give. A lot more strict than in reg schools bc of this being a federally funded program. Has to have a very low fat and sugar ratio. Very low when we do nutritional experiences it can be tricking finding an alternate recipe. For instance we did pumpkin empanadas right b4 thanksgiving and we had 4 recipes declined for approval because of the fat/sugar ratio. And it was already pretty low.
New ones that we added last year are
Smoothies, humas and pita bread. I love cottage cheese and pineapple I wish it was fresh pineapple.
I've had my kids in child care programs where the parents supply the snacks I didn't like this bc most of the snacks weren't nutritional and I'm trying to teach my own kids about eating healthy and to think about is it going to fill you up or is it just going to have you wanting something else. Like f they have fruit snack isn't filling but if we pair it with a smoothie or yogurt and graham crackers that's better.0 -
Snacks for the kids are always interesting. I seem to have a crew of picky eaters this time around. Goldfish, graham crackers, cheese sticks, applesauce, grapes, bananas, yogurt, nutragrain bars, vanilla wafers, fruit pops. Most the snacks are served with milk.0

Mine are pretty picky as well. I still try to get them a variety. I do all of those snacks as well. We do a lot of banana bread to use left over bananas. I like to make smoothies with frozen fruit and yogurt with milk or juice and a banana.0
