Don't forget snacks!
Everybody knows fruit and veggies make great snacks, but don't forget about these other healthy treats...
Low-fat string cheese for calcium
Popcorn for added fiber
Whole grain crackers (Triscuits are one brand) for more fiber and minerals
Yogurt or pudding for protein and calcium
Baked tortilla chips with salsa for fiber and vitamins
Hummus or other spreads made from beans with whole grain crackers for protein
Fortified breakfast cereal; teens who routinely eat cereal (even for snacks!) get more vitamins and minerals
Smoothies: blend milk, fruit, and yogurt for calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin C
Trail mix (dried fruit, nuts, and seeds) for protein and fiber
