Why healthy snacks?
Snacks need to be packed with nutrients. Fruit, high fibre and wholegrain foods, as well as low fat dairy foods are excellent choices for between meal snacks. Think about the size of the snack. Snacks don’t need to be too big. Give children just enough to keep going until the next meal. As a guide for packaged foods, choose snacks that are less than or around 600 kilojoules per serve.
