Mom's how many of you love a good deal however when it comes to fresh produce its hard to take advantage other then what will keep in the fridge?  Grapes go on sale?  Purchase and freeze, making a great afternoon snack for the kiddo's

 

They say an apple a day keeps the dr. away well how about if we add a little flare to those apples?  Take a whole wheat wrap, spread tablespoon on wrap, add diced apples and you have a snack to share with your mini me.

 

 

I know as a mom flipping over any juice box for kids is always eye opening on the amount of sugar in the drink.  Here is a fun way to add flavor to the plan old H2O.  I know for our kids if I'm drinking something fun like this they want to follow.

 

 

Fun afternoon snack a hole banana, tablespoon of almond butter, and a whole wheat wrap.

Carrot snacks

 

Ingredients

2 large carrots (or 3 medium)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Wash and peel the carrots. Using a mandoline slicer or a knife, tilt the carrot, and thinly slice diagonally to make oval-shaped pieces — if they're too thick, they'll be soft instead of crunchy.
3. Place the carrot slices in a bowl, and toss with olive oil and salt.
4. Lay the carrots in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the carrots are dry and crisp. Watch them carefully toward the end, as they can burn quickly.
