[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our afterschool snacks are basically a part-skim cheese stick, a baggie of carrot sticks (I buy the big bag at the store and then portion them out myself), and fruit like grapes, berries, melon (again, portioned out at the beginning of the week).  Sometimes I give them a couple graham crackers in a baggie (whole grain but still a treat).  Younger one still eats fruit/veggie pouches so she gets one of those.

To be honest, we sometimes throw cereal or whole-grain goldfish into baggies.  Or even homemade cookies if they happen to be around.  We are not really strict about the routine.

By the time dinner rolls around, I know they've had their fruit, veggie, and dairy.  I still try to get some veggies on the plate at dinner time, but it gives me some wiggle room to know that they have already had this.

The biggest way to make this successful is to portion everything out in advance of the week ahead.  [/quote]

is it safe to leave cheese and cut fruit out all day? OP is asking for shelf-stable ideas.[/quote]

Agreed that the OP is asking for shelf stable ideas, but yes, its fine to leave fruit and cheese un-refridgerated.[/quote]
