Good eating habits are established early. Choose nutritious
snacks, like the ones listed above. As a general guide, think
of two to three snacks a day as a healthy snacking pattern.
Eat a wide variety of foods for snacks instead of serving the
same snacks over and over again. This helps us get a good variety
of vitamins and minerals, and not too much sugar, fat and salt.
