It’s that time of year again; hurrying the kids out the door for school! With all the craziness in the morning to get the kids ready, along with the madness that happens after school, preparing them healthy snacks can become lost in the mix. Let’s face it… kids as well as adults have some pretty inconsistent eating habits. Snacking now appears to be a necessary part of everyday life as many children seem to burn through food very fast. Growing up as a kid, I still remember keeping an eye on the classroom clock, waiting for 10.15 am for snack time, I felt so eager to open my lunch box and find all the delicious healthy snacks. My dad used to pack biscuit crackers and all-time favourite The Laughing Cow cheese. The fact of the matter is that young children have smaller stomachs than adults, so they need to eat small quantities of food every few hours to keep their energy levels up and get the right amount of nutrients.
