With the holidays finally, here, kids will have candies, sweets and all manners of treats to enjoy. Here are some healthy holiday snacks for the kids!
Unfortunately, the store-bought treats come packed with excess sugars and fats. If you have kids, they can still enjoy candies but now home-made to maintain good oral health. Plus, you can make them together with the kids to keep them engaged and enhance the holiday cheer. Here are seven healthy holiday snacks for your kids these holidays!
Frozen Banana Penguins
A simple yet healthy cookie that your kids will be excited to make and eat. Dip the bananas in chocolate, use dried apricots for the feet and beaks. The chocolate chips become eyes, and you almost have a real bird.
O Christmas Treat Pizza
This holiday, you can take a slight break from the sweets to have a Christmas tree for dinner. Surprising enough, those tots will be distracted by the magnificent presentation that they may end up eating the spinach.
Popcorns
The holidays shouldn’t end without flavoring your popcorns. Simple to make and healthy for you and the kids. Ingredients include canola oil, maple kettle corn and cinnamon sugar for flavor.
Gingerbread House
Such a healthy snack that contains wholesome ingredients such as cereals, dried fruits, and nuts. With the help of your kids, use peanut butter to attach the ingredients to a beautiful edible home.
White Peppermint Snowballs
Buy your favorite package cookie sugar dough or better, prepare your own. Add some crushed peppermint to give that excellent taste and minty smell.
Snowflake Quesadillas
The snacks resemble snowflakes and are simple to make and very healthy for your kids. Get some flour, fold the tortilla in half then in thirds. After that, cut the shapes then use it for topping quesadilla.
Chocolate Cherry Clusters
This is a healthy cookie to prepare and serve together with your little ones these holidays? It’s a remarkable swap for the store-bought snacks.
