PS: Don’t forget to use our Team Tool to manage your team (including snack duties!).

Kiddies 

• Annie’s Fruit Snack Pouches 

• Frozen grapes

• Veggie Stick Pouches 

• Watermelon Sticks 

• Pirate’s Booty Pouches 

• Organic Yogurt Tubes

• Apple Slices (squirt a little fresh lemon juice on them to keep them from browning)

• Homemade cookies: Yes, we know they contain sugar and fat, BUT, they typically aren’t loaded with artificial ingredients and preservatives. Here’s our recipe for Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.

• Carrot Sticks (the little mini carrots are easy, but fresh-cut carrots from the farmer’s market sure taste better)

• Celery Sticks w/ Peanut or Almond Butter Squeeze Packs (nut allergy alert)…and maybe with just a few chocolate chips… ?

• Banana and cashew butter sandwiches (nut allergy alert) … see header photo above.

Teens   

• Whole Grain Bagels w/ Cream Cheese

• Protein Balls (our personal fave: No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls)

• Fresh Fruit Pouches

• Protein and Granola Bars 

 *Some of our faves*

     Pure Protein Bars

     Perfect Bars

     Nature Valley Bars 

All Ages

• Cutie Mandarin Oranges  (or Satsumas when they’re in season…Sooooo easy to peel!).

• Whole Grain Fig Bars

• Fruit Leathers

• String Cheese

• Bananas 

For the Over-Achiever  

• Celery Snails and Caterpillars

• Sea Turtle Snacks (apples, grapes and goldfish)
