Growing children often get hungry in between meals. They usually eat at least one snack per day. While most of their nutritional intake comes from their meals, offering them healthy snacks also supports their overall health. As a preschool in Orlando, Florida, we always take note of our students’ health and enforce healthy eating habits.
As a child education provider, here are some ways to ensure healthy snacking for your preschooler:
- Prepare snacks rich in fruits and vegetables
You can try pairing fruits and vegetables with dairy products, lean proteins, whole-grain cereals, and bread. This is a great way to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your child’s diet.
- Prepare healthy snacks now and then at home
Make it easier to access healthy snacks such as fruits, vegetables, yogurt dips, hummus, and cheese sticks at home.
- As much as possible, never opt for sugary or processed foods
Processed snacks contain a lot of salt or sugar and fewer nutrients.
- Make foods colorful to encourage your child to eat
Creativity in food preparation helps them crave more with your snacks!
