After a long day of learning and playing your kids run home with a big apetite and may be looking for snacks to hold them over until dinnertime.
Here are three teeth-friendly snacks that can double up as perfect after-school treats:
Berry and yogurt smoothie:
Yogurt is great for the teeth and the body. It’s high in calcium and the bacteria that created it act as probiotics to help you digest food, fight bad breath, and keep gums healthy. Plain, full-fat yogurt sweelened with a little Stevia and berries, would be delicious for the whole family.
Homemade veggie chips:
Baked veggie chips are healthy and very easy to make. Try kale, spinach, sweet potatoes or carrots. Cut the sweet potatoes and carrots into thin slices, mix the veggies with enough olive oil to coat them. You can add salt, spices, such as garlic or pepper. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 12 minutes, flip them once, then bake until crispy.
Fruit and cheese squares:
Choose some favorite sliced cheeses and fruit, and eat them with a toothpick, skewer them on bamboo sticks or just use a fork. To make it more entertainig you can use a cookie cutter to make shapes in the cheese.
We hope you have a great time prepareing and eating these great snacks.
