Summer Snack Attack

5 quick and easy recipes that kids – and parents – will love

Riding a bike. Skateboarding. Running. Swimming. Baseball, softball – just having a ball. Kids find all sorts of ways to burn extra energy in the summertime. Sure, they burn energy year-round. Lots of it. But in the summertime, when they can run and play outside, they are energy-guzzling, turbo-charged machines that go, go, go!

Which means they need more fuel in the summer months to keep them going. 

“Mom, dad, we need snacks. What do we have to eat?”
