What are healthy snacks my kids will actually eat?
Kristen: Thankfully, the number of healthy snacks out there has about tripled since I weaned my oldest daughter who’s now 4 and 1/2, and even better, you can find them at your local grocery store. When I found the Immaculate Baking Company’s ready-to-bake cookies, I was in heaven. They are organic, and have absolutely no preservatives or weird chemicals. I always keep a pack in my fridge for when we get a hankering for something sweet. Liz: Stonyfield farm recently came out with plain YoBaby organic yogurt if you’re worried about sugar, and you can add a dab of jelly or real fruit for older siblings. I’m also in love with a brand called Lesser Evil which makes these all-natural potato sticks you can’t stop eating. Not sure if that’s a good thing. Um…I mean vegetables. I feed my kids lots of vegetables. Visit our Contest Updates to learn how you can win a Freestyle from Cool Mom Picks.
