Snack Smart this Holiday Season:

Healthy and Delicious Seasonal Snack Ideas

By: Julie Thomas, Michigan State University Dietetic Intern

With the holidays right around the corner, convincing kids to choose healthy snacks with all of the tempting sweets surrounding us can be difficult. However, being creative and switching up your snacking game to make nutritious treats that are both tasty and fun guarantees that kids enjoy their food while building healthy eating habits. Here are some creative, healthy snack ideas that your child can assist in creating this holiday season:

• Banana Snowmen: Stack banana slices on a skewer to create a snowman body. Top it off with half a strawberry slice and a green grape to create the snowman’s hat. Add mini chocolate chips to create the eyes and buttons, and a small carrot slice for the nose!
• Kiwi Wreaths: Peel and cut kiwis into slices. Using a cookie cutter with a ribbed edge, press each slice so it mimics a wreath. Slice thin pieces of strawberries to create a bow at the top and you have your wreath!
• Rudolph Celery Sticks: Cut celery sticks into small slices; spread peanut butter (or soy butter, hummus, Nutella, etc., if allergies are present). Place candy eyes and a cranberry or a cherry to create the nose. Break off pretzel pieces to create the antlers!
• Avocado Christmas Trees: Slice a whole wheat tortilla into fourths. In a bowl, mash an avocado and spread on to the tortilla slices. Place cherry tomatoes to create the ornaments. Cut a star shape out of a piece of low-fat cheese to top the tree with a star! (Can be replaced with an apple, carrot, etc.)
• Penguin Crackers: Spread low-fat cream cheese on to whole-grain crackers. Add olives to assemble the wings, carrots to create the feet and nose, and pepper for the eyes!

Meal Distribution and Community Food Resources

New account

Prepaying for meals is convenient for you as a parent, for your child, and for the cashiers during meal service. Monies are drawn from the account ONLY when your child eats; and if your child moves to another WCS school, the funds follow them. As a parent, you can indicate that money on account can go for meals only and ala carte purchases must be paid in cash. This is not an issue in the Elementary schools, but does come into play in the Middle and High Schools.
