Snack Plates

Whenever I’m in doubt of what to serve the kids, I make snack plates!

Sometimes it sounds too simple, like it won’t be exciting enough, or might even feel too complex, like how the heck do I decide what to put on it. We’re here to help make it easier 💕

Either way, typically you want to include:

❤️1-2 proteins (leftover diced chicken, rolled ham slices, cheese, pepperoni sticks, Greek yogurt cups, dips made with yogurt or cottage cheese).
💜1-2 carbs ( crackers, goldfish, pretzels, cereal, toast strips, waffle or pancakes strips, mini muffins)
💚2-3 fruit/veg (berries, sliced apples or pears, melon wedges, dried fruit like raisins, freeze dried fruit, cucumbers, bell peppers, sugar snap peas, fresh peas, pickles)
🩷Optional: flavour boosters and fat sources like dips, peanut butter, tahini, hummus, tzatziki, dark chocolate, nuts, seeds, hemp or chia or ground flax sprinkled in, fresh herbs, & more!

With so many options, you can do snack plates daily and yet eat something completely different each day!

The best part is that these also give you a great base for bento-box style lunches, so your prep work goes a long way to saving you time and effort on multiple days.
