Healthy Snack Recipes for Kids

After an overindulgent holiday season, The Cackleberries Team, as promised, is going to provide a number of health conscious meal ideas and healthy snack recipes over the next few weeks to help kick-start your and your family’s new year.

This week, we offer a healthy spin on a long time Cackleberries classic family snack….

Bacon and Tomato Sandwiches – Healthy Snack Recipes

The key to making this tasty snack into a healthy eating option is to focus on the specific ingredients you’ll be using when making these sandwich snacks.  For this specific recipe, all you’ll need to do is concentrate on 4 key changes to make this a very healthy option.

Change 1 -  When it comes to bread or buns, select health conscious varieties such as whole-wheat or better yet, multigrain.  Served fresh, your kids will likely enjoy the bread, regardless of what they think it will taste like.

Change 2 – Another important health change you can make is to substitute regular bacon for a healthier alternative such as turkey bacon.  While at first this might not sound appealing, you will be surprised when you look at what’s actually available on the market and how good some of these products actually taste.  Don’t be afraid to try a few different kinds until you find one that your family enjoys.  This one switch will go a long way in implementing healthier eating habits in your family.

Change 3 – Next time your at the grocery store, pickup a lite mayonnaise instead.  With a nearly identical taste to regular mayo but much better for you, this alteration of ingredients can be used every time you reach into the fridge to make a sandwich of any kind.

Change 4 – If you’re making a tomato and bacon sandwich, don’t be afraid to add a lot of tomatoes – the more the better!  Tomatoes are a great item to eat at anytime and since they taste so good in a snack such as this, you might as well take advantage of the opportunity to make sure your kids eat their fill of them.

And with a few simple tweaks, you can turn a normal snack into a healthy snack recipes for kids!
