Kid Friendly Low Carb Snacks!
Whether you’re an adult or a kid, eating snacks made for kids is always fun. It can be hard getting your children to eat something healthy so why not take a healthy snack and put a yummy twist on it. Here are some great ideas to share with your family:
- Easy Chicken Fries
- Low Carb Granola
- Peanut Butter and Jam Mug Cake
If your kids won’t eat them I’m sure you will hehe. My personal favorite is the low carb granola that can be made in bulk for snacks all week long. It’s also great for topping your favorite low carb yogurt or eating with macadamia nut milk as a cereal replacement!
Pick Your Stuffers
One of the best parts aside from eating the stuffed celery is deciding what to stuff them with! You can get your kids involved too. The only rule of thumb we use is play around with the textures – you can see that the three we’ve made have a creamy and crunchy combo!
If you want some more ideas try out:
- Peanut butter and chopped up berries
- Almond butter and bacon (sweet and salty)
- Mayo and chicken (a fun twist on chicken salad)
- Almond butter and sunflower seeds
Mix And Match Textures
Mouth feel is everything these days! If it doesn’t taste good and feel good in your mouth what’s the point in eating it?! Okay, I’m joking, but mouth feel is definitely important in my opinion. It is the technical term for the texture of our food in your mouth and it can play a big role in how we perceive a food or dish!
If you want your kids to eat more veggies and enjoy healthier snacks like these stuffed celery, ensuring good mouth feel can make healthy snacking a positive experience. I know that rings true for me! Sometimes I don’t want to eat the beef liver because, well, it doesn’t taste good, but sautéing it with some onion and bacon to enhance the mouth feel sure helps me get it down!
Stuffed Celery
Not only the perfect after school snack for your kids, but also great for game day or board game night appetizers at home! You can make a little stuffed celery bar with all kinds of spreads and toppings so people can create their own.
