Healthy Snacks For The Whole Family

Comment Published at 14:4214:420 comments0 comments81 Visits81 VisitsReport

Do you give your kids snacks?  What kinds of snacks do you give them? Almost all snacks in the supermarket are loaded with unhealthy stuff such as sugars, salts, transfats, vegetable oils, preservatives etc. Do you ever study the what goes into making the snacks?

I give my son two organic snacks : Bellamy's Organic Apple Chips and Whole kids organic sultanas. Both are products of Australia. These are healthy, natural and thus safe snacks to eat.


Personally, I love Whole Kids Organic fruit-filled bars.  Healthy and yummy snack good for on the go! Whole Kids have some other healthy snacks for the whole family.

The apple chips are sold in Safeway and Coles. The sultanas are sold in many organic shops.  Look for the BFA (Biological Farmers of Australia) or NASAA (The National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia Ltd) logos on the products to make sure they are truly authentic organic produce. These snacks are surely 200% better off than potato chips (and french fries too) which contain acrylamide and is not good to snack too much on. It is fine to snack on potato chips occasionally. My husband and son are voracious snackers and they love potato chips.  I usually buy Rock Deli's as they are baked with sunflower oil and contains substantially lower amounts of transfats.

With eating sultanas in particular, it is important to take care of the teeth as this snack is sticky and can stay on them.
