I am assembling healthy ideas for upcoming menus and the direction I want to take our family in terms of nutrition.  Here are some ideas for healthy snacks. Recipes are from Familyeducation.com.  Additional ideas are appreciated.

Animal Crackers
Graham Crackers
Trail Mix

Healthy Sunflower Treat
1 rice cake
Peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon sunflower seeds or sesame seeds
6 baby carrots, sliced lengthwise
1 celery stalk
1 orange slice, halved
Directions:
Spread the peanut butter on the rice cake.
Sprinkle the sunflower or sesame seeds on top of the peanut butter.
Arrange the carrot slices like petals around the edge of the rice cake.
The celery stalk is the flower stem, and the orange slices are the leaves.

Peanut Butter Power Balls
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup non-fat dry milk powder or soy protein powder
1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips

Posted by JMOCT
Thanks for this list. I'm always looking for more snack ideas. One thing we do alot of that the boys just love is peanut butter on banana slices. We also do alot of healthy crackers with cream cheese or just cheddar cheese.
