Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I am looking for ideas for healthy vegan snacks to feed my children and to share with other children as alternatives to the traditional unhealthy snacks, prepackaged snacks. I've searched online for simple recipes/ideas but haven't found any great sites yet. For example, parents in my children's choir are required to take turns in bring snacks for the children but I don't want to bring candy, chips, and jello as snacks like everyone else does. My children feel left out because they don't eat these things. I reward them with something special after rehearsal when we get home, but it is still hard for them. Thanks for any help!

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 How about Krispy Brown Rice balls? You can put vegan chocolate chips instead of raisins to " appeal to the masses " since a lot of kids don't like them (for some odd reason). http://macrobiotic.about.com/od/snacks/r/RiceBalls.htm I've been making these latey -- they are good. To make them extra healthy (and the kids probably won't notice) add ground seeds (flax, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, hemp, chia -- etc) instead of or in addition to the nuts. I also add cinnamon. Yummy! I keep them in the freezer for a quick snack. Don't try using agave nectar instead of brown rice syrup. I tried it and it wasn't sticky enough! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 These are a few snacks my kids love that most other kids would love to: - whole wheat pretzels - fruit kabobs - fruit leather - dehydrated fruit chips - whole wheat crackers with a vegan spread (hummus, faux cheese) - fruit popsicles - fruit sauce pouches (look like little drink pouches but they are filled with fruit puree) - my kids eat celery and carrot sticks but probably not that exciting - homemade vegan oatmeal cookies or muffins (sweetened with apple sauce) Good luck. I commend you for bringing healthy choices to other kids! I HATE when other parents bring pure junk for my kids to eat! --- On Mon, 1/25/10, admartin5 <admartin5 wrote: admartin5 <admartin5 Looking for Healthy Vegan Snack Ideas Monday, January 25, 2010, 9:39 AM  I am looking for ideas for healthy vegan snacks to feed my children and to share with other children as alternatives to the traditional unhealthy snacks, prepackaged snacks.
