Healthy Snacks For Your Kids

Nowadays many of us around trying to balance two jobs, the kids and running the house. The end result is we often grab whatever is handy to snack on. Chips or sweet snacks like cookies or snack cakes. Not very healthy, eh? Try this instead. Take a few minutes and buy a package of fruit mix at the supermarket along with some wooden skewers. Also get a package of popcorn chicken bites.

You have all you need to make a platter of mini kebabs that your children will love.

Just make some up in the morning and place on a platter in the fridge. When the open the fridge for a quick snack, they'll be there ready to go.

The recipe:-

• Take a skewer and slide two pieces of fruit on
• add a piece of pre cooked popcorn chicken
• add a slice of banana
• add cheese cubes next if you like
• repeat the process until the skewers are filled up
• arrange on a platter and cover with plastic wrap.
• Chill and watch them disappear!

This idea works really well as an appetiser also.  Simply use long toothpicks instead of skewers and arrange on a bed of rice or lettuce leaves.
