Better for you snacking

BFY snacking during the school holidays!

When its school holidays it can seem like you’re preparing snacks for the kids all day! Most parents have seen their kids get “hangry” – getting angry when they’re hungry – which isn’t a good sign.

Here are some ideas for anyone who’s out of ideas. And because it’s school holidays, some of these ideas may not be usually included in the lunchbox . . . .

• Messy Monkeys Popcorn – light & filling and full of whole grains

• Fruit kebabs – get creative with in-season fruit with yoghurt or dark chocolate dip

• Smoothies – a fun way to boost protein, calcium & fruit

• Messy Monkeys Whole Grain Bites – with hidden whole grains to restore energy
