Snacks for Active Kids

Kids often are hungry after school and before their activities and need a boost of energy.  When this happens, there are many natural foods to choose from that also use natural sugar to make it more kid friendly.

Kids that are active need carbohydrates to refuel their bodies. Adding a protein or healthy fat helps to increase their endurance as well as being important for healthy growth and development.
