Healthy and Quick Snack Ideas for Families

Here is a list of some of the quick, healthy snacks I keep around the house. I also organize them in categories, using cheap little tubs bought at the dollar tree. I have one in the fridge for things like yogurt tubes, cut up carrot and celery sticks etc. I also keep one in the pantry for breakfast items and one in the pantry for snack items. You get the idea. As soon as blogger lets me upload pics again, I will take a pic of our system we use, so that when I say to the kids, yes you may have a snack, they know what is ok and what is not. :) Enjoy the list!
