Kid-Approved Snacks for the New Year

Finding “healthy” snacks that kids are excited to eat can be a challenge. Here are two great ideas from Oceanside food blogger Jackie Bruchez (aka The Seaside Baker).

Cold-Fighting Smoothie

A smoothie may be the last thing on your mind when it’s chilly outside, but the ingredients (spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, apple and orange juice) are packed with vitamins and nutrients that boost little immune systems. Even better, the taste of this cold-fighting smoothie is kid-approved! Find the recipe at www.theseasidebaker.com/cold-fighting-smoothiehealthy-green-smoothie.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

Here’s a sweet treat that sneaks veggies into snack time. Picky eaters love the flavor from chocolate chips, but it’s the zucchini that makes these muffins moist and delicious. Get the recipe at www.theseasidebaker.com/ chocolate-chip-zucchini-muffins.
