As a homeschooling family with "growing boys" who have "hollow legs", we have to concentrate on putting out good snacks. During growth spurts, they will wander into the kitchen 10 times a day!
If I have good, irresistible snacks out, they will gravitate to them. If I don't have anything out, they'll find whatever they can and that's not always good!
In order to avoid the latter, I put trays of goodness out on the counter! Works For Me! (Little to no prep and healthy!)
These are the snacks that I put out yesterday.
Colorful Fruit
Veggies, Cheeses, Wheat Crackers & Blue Cheese Dip
Who could resist a spread this colorful?
Ok, so I let Espresso make brownies... That is NOT an everyday thing!
...but don't they look good?

Those brownies look absolutely delicious!
Healthy must be balanced with a little chocolate heaven :)Your veggies look delish!

I have found that when I put a tray out of fresh fruits and veggies the kids will eat it. If I say at snack time "why don't you have some carrots" it will always be a no. You are right, the more colorful the better.
What a great idea! My boys are constantly roaming through the cupboards looking for food. I do put fruit out and they eat it. I like the idea of putting out veggies and wheat crackers.
Sadly, I'd go for the brownies!
