[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel so challenged by my desire not to givi ey kids crap to eat yet wanting life to be easy. Example - yesterday, they went on a boat with friends. I filled the cooler with cut fruit and veggies, [b]string cheese, and some homemade granola bars.[/b] And water. Of course they wanted to eat the other kids' Goldfish and CheezIts and juice boxes. So did I! My food went basically uneaten, and they ate the crap. What do you all buy that is still appealing and 'fun' for fun times like a boat ride but isn't junk? I feel like just giving up sometimes and buying the junk bc it's certainly easier and cheaper than buying and preparing fruits and veggies and other non-processed stuff. [/quote]

String cheese and granola bares aren't healthy.

But it's a boat day, so I would just let it go unless they're boating every day.[/quote]

really? why not the cheese doesn't have anytying in it but normal cheese ingredients (milk, rennet, salt), and the granola bars are super low sugar, made with quinoa/oats/etc - def not the nasty Quaker variety.

so - if you have to pack something besides fruit and veggies, what do you pack?? that you consider healthy?

If I wanted cheese, I wouldn't pick string cheese. I would pick some good cheese, and it would be a small portion.  Americans eat too much dairy.

Your granola bars sound healthier than normal granola bars, but carbs still turn into glucose when processed.

Other than fruit and veges, I would pack good beef jerky, hard boiled eggs, avocado, good yogurt and healthier dips like hummus or baba ganoush.[/quote]

How does one eat avocado on a boat? Not guac, but avocado? [/quote]

Guac is fine.  But I would just cut avocado in half, discard the seed, sprinkle lime and pepper and eat it with a spoon. But if you can't fathom doing that - you can make avocado "toast."  Yeah use good bread or good thin cracker or even cucumbers.[/quote]
