* Whole grains are great - Whole grains offer a host of
healthful nutrients, including B vitamins, minerals, protein
and antioxidants, according to HealthLine. Children can get
whole grains from many sources, including whole-grain
breads, but cereal can be a very kid-friendly option for whole-
grain goodness. Create your own small treat bags of cereal for
on-the-go snacks. Options like Cheerios are made from whole
grain oats, so they pack 24 grams of whole grain per serving -
about half of the recommended daily allowance.
* Drink up , drink wisely - At the end of the day, kids thirst
for something to go with their snack. Before letting kids reach
for a juice or sports drink, remind them that water is the best
beverage for everyone, regardless of what they do after school.
Nothing hydrates like H2O, but if your child doesn't like the
taste of plain water, you can nd many sugar-free, lightly and
naturally avored waters to tempt their taste buds.
