Finding things that children both enjoy eating and are healthy can be a challenge.

KID-FRIENDLY SNACKS: PRACTICAL CONTEXT FOR FAMILIES

Kid-friendly snacks can make eating between meals more practical when families consider taste, ingredients, portion size, and a child’s individual needs. This archived Stamford City Lifestyle feature begins with fruit and vegetables, then shares several packaged carbohydrate and protein options.

The packaged kid-friendly snacks listed below are preserved from the original article. Product recipes and nutrition labels may change, so current packaging should be reviewed before serving.
