• Birthday parties and holiday celebrations at school provide a unique
              opportunity to help make healthful eating fun and exciting for
              children.  Listed below are ideas for healthy snacks:
              Food items
              • Fruit smoothies - blend berries, bananas, with yogurt (we do
              not have a blender at school)
              • Fresh fruit, fruit and cheese kabobs, fruit salad
              • Vegetables trays with low-fat dip or peanut butter
              • Whole grain crackers with cheese cubes, or string cheese
              • Waffles or pancakes topped with fruit (we have a toaster)
              • Pretzels, low-fat popcorn, rice cakes, graham crackers,
              animal crackers
              • Angel food cake, plain or topped with fruit
              • Mini bagels with peanut butter or jam
