You can crunch on sweet apple slices or juicy grapes for a fruity snack. Baby carrots with a little bit of ranch dip are also delicious and fun to eat. You can even make ants on a log using celery, peanut butter (if you are not allergic), and little raisins!
Healthy snacks keep your energy up between meals so you don’t feel tired or grumpy. A handful of nuts (if you are not allergic) or a cool cup of yogurt makes your tummy happy without making you feel sleepy. Choosing healthy snacks helps your body get the vitamins and energy it needs all day long.
