Healthy Kids Snack, No Peanut products, Starts with the Letter "A"?

by admin on December 14, 2009

We need to bring healthy snacks to our kid’s school periodically, and need one that begins with the letter A. The snack cannot contain any peanut products due to a child in the class that has an allergy. Any help is appreciated.
Sorry, Wife told me anything but apples according to the task.

Animal Crackers!

apples, dear!!! An old proverb attests to the health benefits of the fruit: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Research [citation needed] suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. Like many fruits, Apples contain Vitamin C as well as a host of other antioxidant compounds, which may reduce the risk of cancer by preventing DNA damage. The fibre content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer. They may also help with heart disease, weight loss and controlling cholesterol, as they do not have any cholesterol, have fibre (which reduces cholesterol by preventing reabsorption), and are bulky for their caloric content like most fruits and vegetables.

apples
apple sauce w/ cinnamon
what about almonds?
anchovies?(ew)
asperagas
you could also make up a name for something so if you made little finger wandwitches you could shape them creatively and call them alligator munchies or something like that

maybe albacore tuna sandwitches?

Snow covered "Ants on a Log"

Sub Cream cheese in place of peanut butter.. You can even do red ants and sub dried cranberries for the raisins!

I would bring apricots and applesauce.

You could bring asparagus and arrugula with some dip – but I don’t know if the kids would really eat it.

You know it might be interesting to bring all kinds of apples – Granny Smith, Gala, Figi, Jonathan, etc. So the kids could compare the different tastes, smells, colors of all these kinds of apples. I think they would enjoy apple slices (green, yellow, red, sweet & tart) with a caramel dip. YUM
