We're just talking about healthy snacks for kids and one of the old stand buys obviously
is going to be peanut butter and jelly. You've seen before in some of the other clips I was
talking about preparing things ahead of time to make it easier on yourself. This is one
thing you can do ahead of time and keep it in your refrigerator for a day or two. Two
at the most I would say. That's your regular old peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Depending
on whether your kids like crunchy or smooth is gonna depend on what you're making it with.
This happens to be smooth so we just put a nice even layer over the sandwich and jelly.
With jelly, there are lots of choices as you know when you go in the store. Some stores
actually have whole isles just of jellies and jams. What you want to look for are the
jellies and jams that contain the less amount of sugar. There can be a fair amount of sugar
in some jellies and jams. I always recommend going with like the simply fruit or the ones
that have no extra added sugars to their jams and jellies. Kids don't need it, its already
sweet enough. You are gonna have to experiment probably whether its grape jelly or strawberry
or all of the different types of varieties they have out there. But a quick snack what
did that take us about thirty, fourty-five seconds. Depending on your kids and their
tastes and whether there picky or not, I have seen some parents cut off the crust but you
can cut these in half and what I like to do too is go even smaller. If we are talking
about snacks not lunchtime meals, just go ahead and quarter them . Depending on how
many kids you have, this could make two different snacks and you could combine that with one
of the other healthier snacks we looked at earlier. There you have it the old standard
peanut butter and jelly.
