Frugal and Nutritious Summer Snacks
Lately, there has been a lot in the news concerning
obesity in America. And not just in adults--our
children are over-weight, also.
It's not surprising, considering the advertising
dollars that are spent each year aimed at persuading
children that potato chips, candy bars and other
"junk food" are good for them.
While we may not be able to change the world, we can
change what is available to our children in our own
homes.
Here are a few healthy alternatives to those fat and
sugar laden "store-bought" snacks.
Please note that snacks and foods containing honey are
not suitable for those children under 2 years of age.
>Peanut Butter Balls
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 cup toasted wheat germ
1 tablespoons powdered milk
Mix ingredients well, shape into balls.
Roll in coconut if desired.
Store in refrigerator.
>Popcorn is a great snack food. It is a good source
of fiber and low in calories--until you add toppings.
Don't add salt, but try sprinkling grated Parmesan or
American cheese on top.
Zipper top bags of popcorn are handy for taking along
on picnics and other outings.
>Honey "Cracker Jacks"
6 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup butter or margarine
6 cups popped popcorn
1 cup peanuts
Melt honey and butter in microwave until melted and blended.
Let cool. Mix peanuts and popcorn; pour honey mixture over and
stir till coated. Spread in single layer in shallow baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Stir several times
during baking.
Watch closely so it doesn't burn.
Store in airtight container.
>Apricot Nectar
Soak 1/2 cup dried apricots in 2 cups of pineapple juice
for about 1 hour. Process in blender till smooth.
>Fruity Soda Drink
Combine equal amounts of carbonated water with fruit juice.
Sweeten with honey, if desired.
>Banana Smoothie
1 1/4 cups milk
1 banana
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Process in blender till smooth. This is a good way to use
up bananas.
With summer coming up, frozen snacks will be on our grocery
lists. Why not try these alternatives?
>Homemade Frozen Pops
1 6-oz. can frozen juice concentrate, softened
try orange, grape, or fruit punch
1 juice can water
2 containers of plain yogurt
popsicle sticks and cups
Process in blender. Pour into cups and insert
sticks. Freeze.
Small paper cups work pretty well as molds for
these recipes.
>Make Your Own Pudding Pops
1 small pkg. instant pudding mix--any flavor
1 3/4 cup lowfat milk
Mix as directed on package. Once again, pour
into molds and add sticks. Freeze.
These ideas should help feed those hungry kids on these
warm spring and summer days!

Could it be a mistake that "STRESSED" is "DESSERTS"
spelled backwards?
