"healthy" snacks for kids with CF
It is possible to give kids with CF healthy snacks while at school, My DD has CF and Ive always provided her with high calorie healthy snacks. The trick is to ignore the fat content and seek out natural unprocessed foods regardless of the calorie content! It takes a little effort in the supermarket to READ ingredient labels and some research but hey, thank God for Google... If ANYONE or ANY SITE is advocating you feed your child McDonald's french Fries or a bacon cheeseburger to get them their calories, I would be VERY cautious of their credentials.<div><br></div><div>TRY:</div><div>Avocado's with salt -or make a home made guacamole dip and dip baked tortilla chips.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheese - try a three cheese whole wheat pita wrap. Or Cheese & Crackers</div><div><br></div><div>Organic Peanut Butter/ Jelly/ Jam - on anything, raw veggies, crackers etc...</div><div><br></div><div>Cream cheese & organic raspberry jam filled graham cracker sandwiches</div><div><br></div><div>Hummus whole wheat pita wraps (add avocado, feta or goat cheese & diced cucumbers for more nutrition AND calories)</div><div><br></div><div>Trail Mix</div><div><br></div><div>Granola Bars (real ones, not the Quaker brand highly processed ones)</div><div><br></div><div>Fruit (Apples, pears, bananas) with caramel dipping sauce.</div><div><br></div><div>Greek Yogurt with granola & fresh fruit topping</div><div><br></div><div>Dried fruits with dipping sauce</div><div><br></div><div>Home made oatmeal raisin cookies</div><div><br></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif" size="2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;
