Healthy meals don’t have to be boring.  Especially snacks for kids.  My kids like to make food fun with these cracker toppings.  We used Melba Whole Wheat toast crackers to assemble these snacks:

crackers and toppings flower cracker

FLOWER POWER (Grapes, blackberry, pear skin, light cream cheese)

broccoli and cheese

CHOMPIN BROCCOLI (Broccoli, shredded cheese)

creamy apple

CREAMY TWO-LIPS (Apple slices, blackberries, light cream cheese, cinnamon sugar)

ham and cheese   HAMMIN IT UP (slice of ham, string cheese)cottage cheese and salsa  PROTEIN POWER (Cottage cheese and salsa)the ghost whispererGHOSTLY DELIGHT (Light cream cheese, raisins) peanut butter and berryPB&B (Peanut butter and blackberries)

cross eggs

CRAZY CROSS-EYED TOAST (hardboiled egg, black beans, broccoli, tomato nose)

My kids had a blast putting these together (and eating them). 5 of these ideas came from this site, and there are TON’S more!  Be careful with crackers! A majority of store bought crackers are not healthy.  Particularly pay attention to sodium, (remember, you want less than 1500 mg in a day) and trans fats (or partially hydrogenated oils in it’s ingredient list)
