Pinterest To The Rescue
The Deuce is a human garbage disposal. Eats everything not nailed down. He talks about eating while he’s eating. He asks for another snack before he finishes the one on his plate. Growing boy? Yes. But OMG, I can’t keep up with the runaway train that is his mouth. To keep costs low and maintain healthy habits, I have perused Pinterest to find some new snacks for him.
Check out this Frozen Fruit Pop from SkinnyTaste.com. Fruit of your choice with craft sticks and disposable cups. Awesome!
Yoghurt and Berry Crunch. Y-o-g-h-u-r-t. (That’s British.) GreatBritishChefs.com has a yummy treat made with digestive biscuits. That’s a new one on me. I discovered that digestive biscuits which originated in the UK are similar to graham crackers.
I am going to try out these two new finds. Hopefully The Deuce will give them his seal of approval.
Which healthy snacks do you give your kids?
What was your favorite snack when you were a kid? Spill it–even if it was loaded with calories.

My kids love doing bananas and peanut butter or nutella (yeah I know not quite as health), they also love nuts! They especially love pistachios and will eat them by the bag full. I may try out that first one, it looks delicious.
I was an adult before I tried pistachios because I thought that I wouldn’t like them. Boy, I was missing out! We love them at our house. Thanks Dara.
Yum! Kimberly, those look scrumptious especially the top one. It looks nutritious too! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it, Vashti! It is my top re-pinned post on Pinterest.
These desserts seem so easy, mouthwatering and low calorie 🙂 I love to make yoghurt with different fruit. It is fantastic with fresh as well as frozen fruit and does not add up to your waist as packaged supermarket yoghurt desserts do (for their sugars and fat added).
This is my highest re-pinned post on Pinterest. And yes, very easy to make. Thank you!
These look delicious! I’ll have to save this recipe for those long, hot summer days!
Good, Lara! I have had great feedback with this post. Thank you.
‘Graham crackers’ sounds a lot more appetizing than ‘digestive crackers’!! However, both of those snacks look delicious! (Stopping by from the SITSgirls comment love)
That word is a little off-putting, right? LOL. Thanks, Lauren.
Digestives have a different, yummy taste from graham crackers. Try them! But graham crackers are an excellent substitute…
So you’ve had them? OK. I’ll have to find some. Thanks Meg!
I would love one of those pops! Yummy looking. 🙂

I can imagine he's a talker! I don't remember my snacks. I've always been a real meal that's it kinda chick!
He will talk your head off and eat you out of house and home! And then do it again.
