When I first started doing meal planning I never thought about snacks. I just planned for dinner. After seeing how well that went, I started planning all three meals. I loved meal planning but something was missing. I would go to the store get everything on my list and feel good knowing I had a plan.
Fast forward to the next day… "Mommy, I want a snack.” "I'm a little hungry. Mommy, I need snack." I completely forgot to factor in snacks! If you have little ones you know the importance of snack time. It's a small 15 minute slice of heaven for me when everyone is quiet. Here's what we typically have for morning snack time:
Monday ~ Green and Red Peppers with Hummus
Tuesday ~ Graham Crackers topped with Peanut Butter and Sliced Apples
Wednesday ~ "Berries and Cheese" Raspberries, Strawberries, and Blueberries with Babybel Cheese
Thursday ~ Strawberry and Banana Smoothies
Friday ~ Cheese cubes, Crackers, and Sliced Mangoes
Saturday ~ We're taking the girls to the zoo. We'll pack peanut butter crackers, bananas, frozen smoothies, and apples for them to snack on.
Sunday ~ Fake Popsicle and Cream Cheese Tortillas.
For the “Fake Popsicles” I just freeze yogurt cups. I love the little Danonino cups. I just stick a mini Popsicle stick in each cup and pop them into the freezer.
Great idea about the yogurt! My daughter used to love frozen yogurt.
