oh, and as far as purely "healthy" snacks and not high calorie/high fat, I've learned it's all in the presentation. Here are some of our favs:
- Bean burritos. Veggie refried beans on corn tortilla with shredded cheese. I roll these up, wrap in saran wrap and put in freezer. Microwave frozen burrito for 1-2 minutes as needed.
- Edamame. Microwavable, add some kosher salt and they are fun to eat
- Spicy black bean burger (Morning Star) in pita bread is super yummy.
- Rotisserie chicken with mac-n-cheese
- Black bean salsa and chips. Canned beans (rinsed and drained) with Rotel tomatoes. Microwave. (Some stores carry healthier tortilla chips with flaxseed, organic corn, etc that are 15 chips to a serving!)
- English muffin pizzas. Whole wheat muffin with pizza sauce and whatever pizza toppings we prefers. Bake/microwave.
- Organic fish sticks are really tasty!
- Something sweet: I love sweet potatoes with a tiny amount of brown sugar
- Mini quesadillas
- Grown-up grilled cheese with tomato slices and basil on whole wheat
