On-The-Go Snacks for Kids: Nut Butters

Nut butters are a super way to add protein to snack time, and you can make portability a breeze by purchasing the single-serving packages.

Ants on a Log Cut small sticks of celery (the log) and fill the indentations with almond butter. Place some raisins or dried cranberries (the ants) on top of the butter in a straight line. Store in an airtight container. Kids always get a kick out of this classic snack and it’s a perfect fruit, veggie, and protein combo.

Almond Butter, Honey, and Banana Sandwich Spread some almond butter on two slices of whole-grain bread. Top with a few slices of banana and drizzle on honey. Cut the sandwiches in half, and store in a resealable plastic bag.
