Healthy Ideas

At Potter Road School we would like to create a healthy classroom environment by encouraging students to bring in healthy snacks.Snacks are very important for providing children with nutrients to support growth and learning and with a little imagination you can help your child chose healthy snacks to ensure a productive day of learning.

Here are a few suggestions of healthy snacks your child might bring to school:

• Low-fat milk (plain or flavored) – plain, chocolate, strawberry, vanilla
• Fresh fruit with yogurt dipping sauce
• Apples with caramel dip
• Fruit and cheese kabobs
• Fruit with whipped topping – strawberries with whip cream
• 100% fruit snacks
• Fruit crisps or bakes (made with little added sugar and whole grain toppings)
• Vegetables with low-fat dip
• String cheese
• Low-fat pretzels or popcorn
• Graham or animal crackers
• Sandwiches – ham, turkey, cheese (low fat condiments)
• Low-fat pudding cups
• Low-fat yogurt – Dannon Light ’n Fit, Trix, Yoplait Yumsters
• Breakfast bars
• Angel food cake with fruit toppings
• Raisins
• Whole Grain Fig Newtons
• Whole- Grain Crackers
• Examples: Triscuits, Whole Grain Goldfish Snacks or Multi-Grain Wheat Thins
• Applesauce

I encourage you to talk with your child about this and invite them to start thinking about other creative options for healthy snacks!
