                                 Try not to snack between meals.

As the snacks are important for children and they snack on average three times a day, accounting for almost 1/3 of their daily calories.  WE ENCOURAGE YOU to resign from unhealthy snacks and drinks. Reach for kid-friendly healthy snack & drinks recipes. Think of snacks as mini-well balanced meals.
