What does your kid pack for school snack?

[Anonymous]

My 8 year old used to have no issues with the snacks I packed for her when she was in kindergarten and first grade. Now she calls them baby snacks (goldfish, for example) and doesn't want them anymore. But she also can't tell me what she DOES wants, all she says is that she wants "something else".
The other part of this is that we are trying to eat healthier as a family but the healthy snacks that she does like usually have nuts in it (celery and PB) so she can't take it to school.

Why don't you bake muffins together and she can pack one for snack. They freeze well and thaw by snack time. You can put a lot of healthy foods in a muffin--carrots, zucchini, oats, sunflower seed butter...

Babybel cheese, freeze dried broccoli from TJs, banana or pumpkin muffins with chia seeds, etc.

Tell her to tell you what would be an acceptable snack or she is going to get the goldfish every time. She'll start giving you some ideas you stop listening to her complain with no solutions.
