Snack time can be fun for kids, but developing healthy snack habits is important.
Follow these tips for Snack time:

1. Have a scheduled snack time during the day - constant grazing can lead to poor weight gain and inadequate nutrient intake at meal time.
2. Keep portion sizes in check - snacks are meant to be a source of additional nutrients and energy, not replace a whole meal.

3. Add a source of fiber - this will keep little bellies full until the next meal.
- Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
4. Remember that beverages with calories should count as a food - milk and juice contain beneficial nutrients but should be offered in moderation.
- Appropriate portion sizes for children 1yr +: milk 16oz/day, 100% juice 4oz/day.
