I know we all struggle to feed our kids healthy food.  Eating healthy can be difficult if your child is picky or resistant to trying new things.  I am not suggesting that I have perfected feeding my kids all healthy food and no junk!  But, I love it when I get ideas from friends on healthy choices that are easy to try.  Here are a few of my favorites- with video to back it up:

Apples with peanut butter are the number one snack in my family.  My kids love apples on their own, but when they add a bit of peanut butter it adds protein to the mix and helps the snack LAST in their tummy for a bit longer.

Frozen yogurt tubes are like ice cream, but with less sugar and fat ( you should make sure you get a healthy choice of yogurt, I like Yo Kids).  When I come home from the market, I put the box in the freezer instead of refrigerator.  They make a healthy desert or afternoon snack. Also, if you put them in a lunch box in the morning, they will thaw and be perfect temp when it is time for lunch.

Food Should Taste Good chips.  The cinnamon ones are awesome- they taste like desert and have 4 grams of fiber in every serving.

Don’t forget fresh fruit in season- I love pineapple chopped up and blueberries.

Other favorites for my kids: Almonds roasted and lightly salted from Trader Joes, Bananas (we take them everywhere), Puffins cereal served dry in a bag and Clif Z bars.
