Hi ,

My wife always has a problem while packing snacks to my kids. My daughter like Muruku, Tattas, etc...spice items and my son's favourite item is Jamoon. I hate to pack these items as most of them are oily items. can you please suggest some items which are good in nutrition and at the same time my kids also like them...Regards..

Hi monu321,

Here are a few snacks I give my children regularly :

Popcorn, pori(bhel) rosted with turmeric and salt you can also add roasted peanuts to it, roasted peanuts, toasted wheat khakra, ragi cookies, nuts and raisins (trail mix), laddus made out of powdered nuts and dates without sugar etc.

You can find most of these snacks in any whole foods store.

Also take a look at these ideas from the past discussions and blogs on Parentree:

There are some more links in the above discussions which will take you to more write ups on this topic.

Cheers,

Shobha.
