3rd Thursday Blog Hop: Summer Snacks


Here in Florida it has been summer for weeks, already a dozen visits to the pool included.  Being outside makes my kids hungry and I want quick, (and healthy) snacks.  Here are some of my favorites.


  • Cheese sticks-  when we buy a block of cheese we cut it up in to sticks or strips and then when we are hungry they are ready in the fridge.  
  • Yogurt Fruit Dip- Mix 1 part hot fudge sauce, 1 part fruit yogurt, together and use as a fruit dip.  Beware its yummy by itself as well.  
  • Peanut Butter Tortillas - This is my go to sandwich alternative.  Spread some peanut butter on a tortilla and roll or fold up.  Filling, yummy and not super messy.  For an added treat I melt chocolate chips on the peanut butter before I roll it up.  
  • Dry Cereal- I have a toddler and preschooler so dry cereal is a great quick and easy to pack snack for being out and about in the summer.  Sometimes I think my kids would eat cereal all day if I let them!

I agree with Becky. Yum on the yogurt dip but sound super sugary?

We're big fans of the PB tortilla too...along with just about anything else we can think of to slap onto a tortilla. :o)

I love to throw a banana inside the peanut butter tortilla too!
