That's why Back to Nature, a line of great-tasting products based on the principles of no artificial flavors or preservatives, is introducing new, single-serve varieties of their cookies and crackers. Perfect for an after-school snack or brown-bag lunch, these single-serve varieties make it easier than ever for parents to help their kids enjoy great-tasting, preportioned snacks.
Celebrity chef, organic food expert and mom Donna Prizgintas has made it her mission to help busy parents incorporate nutritious foods into their children's diets without a whole lot of effort.
"It can be challenging to continually provide wholesome, great-tasting snacks that your children will actually eat, but there are products available to help solve this problem," says Prizgintas. "Back to Nature's new single-serve cookie and cracker varieties are good examples-they contain no trans fat or hydrogenated oils, yet still taste great. And the single-serve packages make them a convenient, better-for-you snack option."
Prizgintas says that families can easily "snack smart" with a little planning and the following ideas.
• Make a game plan for the week. Take note of the healthy foods you need to keep stocked in the house. These will become automatic items for your grocery list.
• Always on the go? Children are often hungry after the school day ends, but don't have a lot of time between the final bell and their after-school activities. For a snack they can eat on the run, tuck a Back to Nature single-serve cracker package in the Crispy Cheddar or Crispy Wheat variety in their book bag with a piece of string cheese nestled next to a refreezable cold ice pack.
• Don't forget the finger food. Include fresh vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, carrots, or celery sticks along with natural peanut butter, salsa and bean dip, or low-fat cream cheese for dipping!
• Kid's got a sweet tooth? Drop a Back to Nature single-serve cookie package such as the Chocolate Chunk, Classic Crème or Honey Graham variety into your child's backpack.
• Don't forget liquids! Give your child a low-calorie, fruit-flavored water beverage that contains no artificial colors or flavors.
