What Are Everyday Snacks?
Snack time is important! Your body needs fuel between meals to keep going, just like a car needs gas between fill-ups. But not all fuel is the same quality!
Everyday snacks are foods that give your body REAL fuel — vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber. You can eat these every single day and your body will love you for it!
Great everyday snacks:
- Apple slices — crunchy, sweet, full of fiber and vitamin C
- Carrot sticks — orange, crispy, packed with vitamin A for good eyes
- Cheese cubes — creamy, full of calcium for strong bones
- Yogurt — smooth, loaded with protein and calcium
- Whole grain crackers — crunchy, give you long-lasting energy
- Banana — naturally sweet, full of potassium for muscles
- Celery with peanut butter — crunchy + creamy, protein-packed
- Hard-boiled egg — perfect protein snack
These foods come from nature — from farms, gardens, and animals. They are close to how they look when they grow. An apple on a tree looks just like the apple on your plate!
