The Right Snack

Summer Snacking
We all love to munch between meals, but snacks don't have to be junk food to be delicious and satisfying. Here are a couple of no-cook summer snacks that kids are bound to love. These treats are delicious, nutritious and fun to eat – in other words, everything a snack food should be. Happy snacking!

Graham Cracker Sandwiches: With a fork, mash 1/2 cup of peanut butter together with one large or two small very ripe bananas. Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and mash again. Spread this mixture on one graham cracker square and top with another. You can also use the banana mixture as a dip for graham crackers.

Turkey Roll-Ups: Put a wedge of pineapple in the center of a slice of turkey. Grate about one ounce of child's favorite kind of cheese over the pineapple. Roll up the piece of turkey and secure it with a toothpick skewered through a black olive or a grape.
