Got Snacks?

Make Your Own Cereal Trail Mix This is our favorite ideas for those mornings when you jolt out of bed because you forgot you have snack duty for 8 AM soccer: cereal trail mix! Mix whatever cereal you have in individual bags so it’s easy to distribute on the field. Puffins and Cinnamon Squares scored high with our unofficial taste testers…

Cheese and Cracker Stacks Quarter pre-sliced cheese to make individual cheese-and-cracker stacks. Toss in some mini apples and waters. A great “little” lunch after 11 AM games that leave the littles ravenous! (You know, until you can get to the “big” lunch).

Grape and Berry Cups with Popcorn On-the-field snacks don’t always have to be bananas and clementines (we know — they are so easy to throw in a bag and go!). If you have time before the game, make grape and berry cups with small plastic cups and lids. You can even insert plastic spoons in the straw hole if you’d like. Pair with pre-portioned popcorn! (Collect and reuse the cups and lids!)

Apple Sammies and Chocolate Milk Did you know chocolate milk is a great post-workout refuel? (Helps that it’s such a kid-pleaser!) Pair it with Whole Foods’ apple sammies for a balanced treat. We swapped the traditional peanut butter for sunbutter and brushed the apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.

DIY Graham Cracker Bites We haven’t met a kid that doesn’t love Nutella and graham crackers… but dipping can be messy if you don’t have enough small containers to go around. We swapped out your favorite sweet spread with fair trade Belgian Cocoa spread (no nuts) and used Back to Nature Honey Graham Sticks to create mini sandwiches. Individually pack in small bags, toss in a few clementines, and you’re ready to snack!
