Studies show that children snack an average of three times a day, but they still aren't getting adequate levels of vitamins and minerals. The challenge for parents is to fi nd a treat kids will want to eat that's not fi lled with empty calories. Kids' diets are low in vitamin D, calcium, potassium and dietary fi ber, according to the American Dietetic Association. And over the past decade, children's eating patterns have been markedly low in vitamins A, C and E. Most moms know that if left to their own devices, children will almost always go for sweet indulgences fi rst. In fact, cookies are the No. 1 snack item eaten by kids today. So, can moms reward kids after a tough day at school with treats they'll actually want to eat while fuel- ing healthy development? The answer is yes. And it helps to plan ahead. Here are some helpful tips that can have a positive impact on kids' after-school snack choices. * Make nutritious treats accessible. To help parents with busy after-school schedules, look for conve- nient snacks that can be easily taken from the cupboard or refrigerator and brought on-the-go. Having snacks at their fi ngertips helps encourage kids to make better choices. For example, when you come home from the grocery store, use sandwich bags to prepack single servings of things like grapes, cheese, crackers and carrots to make them easy to grab and go in an instant. For a sweet alternative, make your own trail mix using their favorite cereal, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows or peanuts. * Pack in nutrients. One key to success is to modify kids' favorite foods by pumping up the nutritional value, according to Mike Bloom, vice president of marketing for Suncore Products. For example, his company recently introduced a new line of cookies, WhoNu? Nutrition Rich Cookies, created to look and taste like familiar family favorites, while packing more than 20 essential vitamins and minerals, plus dietary fi ber. * Create tasty options. Take familiar favorite treats and make them even tastier for kids. For instance, parents can make small changes to beloved treats using simple recipes like a frozen yogurt sandwich. Scoop half a cup of your favorite fl avor of low-fat frozen yogurt between two Crispy Chocolate Chip WhoNu? Cookies. Freeze until fi rm and serve. * Timing is everything. Know your children's schedules. A snack can help ward off hunger, but fi lling kids up with a heavy, calorie-fi lled treat can spoil their appetites. Space snacks out appropriately, and look for treats packed with fi ber that will keep their stomachs full without ruining dinner. * Allow more than one chef in the kitchen. Let kids' creativity soar using their plate as a canvas. Offer- ing a variety of fl avorful treats they've helped create fends off boredom. Allow kids to play with their food with this fun recipe: PB&J "Sushi"- Trim the crust off a slice of whole wheat bread and spread peanut butter and jelly over the bread. Roll and cut into one-inch sections with a butter knife. Give your child a pair of chopsticks to add some international fl air.
