Nutritious and Easy Snacks For Recess

Snacks are important and essential for children, so that they can recharge their batteries and be 100% in their classes. Of course, it is important that they are healthy snacks that help them have a healthy and balanced life.

A healthy meal is based on the ingredients used in recipes, but the amount of food that is given to the child is also important . In this way, you have to foresee what activities he is going to do after the meal to give him a meal and an ideal amount, since it is not the same that he is going to do a sport after the snack than to sit at home.

And, now that September is coming, if you have doubts about what your little one will need, in the essentials for school we give you all the keys.

Easy snacks for recess

In many cases, there is no time to make a great and special meal for recess, but if you think about it and get the hang of it, in the end you will be able to prepare delicious snacks that the children will enjoy immensely.

It is also important to listen to their preferences , as long as they are healthy, which will allow us to choose the combinations that ensure that they are going to eat what they have prepared for recess.

We are going to make some suggestions for easy, nutritious recipes that you can customize for your little ones.

Homemade cookies

Homemade cookies or chocolate chip cookies can be made at home, a large batch of cookies that will last for a few days. The good thing about this recipe is that you can prepare it with the children in a simple way, you can give them shapes and you control the ingredients (sugar level or cocoa content).

You have recipes for homemade cookies that do not contain any dairy, so it can be consumed by children with lactose intolerance .

Sandwiches

The sandwiches must be small, designed for the size and activity that the child is going to do. In the case of celiac disease, you can find gluten-free bread . Otherwise, you can choose bread or sliced ​​bread, depending on your tastes.

Sliced ​​bread can be a very fun option and in which the little ones can intervene, since you can use cookie molds to shape the sandwiches . The filling can be very varied: tuna or bonito, quince with fresh cheese, cream cheese with jam … Important: if you are going to fill them with processed sausage, it is essential to check the ingredients that it does not contain gluten.

Mix of nuts

Nuts are a sensational and food rich in nutrients for children. Ideally, they should be raw , alternating between different flavors such as almonds, hazelnuts, cashews. So, pay attention to not being fried or salty, which is no longer so healthy; You may find them baked, so pay attention to the labels.

Bread with cocoa cream

The vast majority of children really enjoy sweets but, if you are concerned about the intake of it, in addition to telling you to put aside the purchase of industrial pastries, we are going to encourage you to prepare your own homemade cocoa cream at home .

The result is great, it does not involve a lot of time in the kitchen and you avoid having to give your child a food with too much fat, butter and sugar. You can make your own composition to make it a delicious cream and he can continue to enjoy a sweet bite .

Fresh fruits

Fruits are another of the foods that must be in the diet of our little ones, you can give them whole or cut. It is important that if you give them cut, you pour a little lemon juice on top so that it does not oxidize and turn brown, in addition to using an airtight container. And if they find it difficult to eat them alone, you can mix them with natural yogurt .

Drinks for recess

Most of us assume that recess snacks or school dismissal in the afternoon should be accompanied by a juice . We all think about how healthy it is to eat fruit and how easy it is to do it through a juice, since children enjoy it and their body benefits from its multiple vitamins.

The reality is quite different, a natural juice with all its properties and benefits is not the same as a juice that we buy in the supermarket that has a significant amount of sugar that is not healthy for children.

Therefore, nutritionists recommend that either the water drink to accompany snacks small and juices remain for special moments, not something to be taken daily. Or if you have some extra time, just by blending the fruits and vegetables and having them taken away in a small bottle, you will make a perfect complement to their diet.

And finally, if you really want to introduce your child to the wonderful culinary world, a great idea is to organize picnics, so that you can make all kinds of DIY recipes.
