Fun with fruitMake a fruit salad fun by adding a pretty spin on an ordinary snack. Cut slices of larger fruits, such as melons and pineapple, then use cookie cutters to transform those slices into fun shapes. Add in berries, bananas, peaches and any other fruit your child likes to eat. Toss the mixture with a splash of lemon juice to keep it looking fresh.
String cheeseString cheese is fun to eat and easy to pack. To mix it up just a little, pack it with a slice or two of turkey or ham. Your child can wrap the meat around the string cheese and eat it together, or eat the two separately.
Fruit parfaitSend a single serving, shelf stable container of yogurt along with small bags of fresh berries and granola. Let your child have fun mixing the ingredients for a nutritious snack on the run.
