Back to School

Featured Recipes: After School Snacks for the Kids

Cucumber Boat with Chicken Salad

This is a quick and easy after school snack that you can customize to suit your child’s tastes: We made it with chicken salad, but you can easily substitute egg or tuna salad to please picky eaters. Make the salad portion ahead of time and after-school preparation will be a snap!

Toaster Oven Pizza

Pizza is always a crowd-pleaser, and this healthful version will help you sneak some whole grains into your child’s diet.  And because it’s pizza, they’ll love the flavor and presentation!

Quick, Quality Entrees

With the kids back in school, let Nugget’s meat department help you choose what to make for dinner on those rushed weeknights. Try our marinated, seasoned hamburger patties, hand-mixed with our special spices. Or grill up some of Nugget’s own pork hot dogs, hand-crafted in-house daily and free from fillers, binders, extenders, color additives, phosphates, nitrates and MSG! The hamburger patties and hot dogs are both on sale this week for only $3.99/lb., save $1/lb.

Fresh Fruit Salad

Another healthy (and easy) after school snack from Nugget’s Deli, our fresh fruit salad is cool, crisp and refreshing. We wouldn’t go a summer’s day without it! $4.99 /lb., save $1/lb.

EnviroKidz Cereal

Cereal is the go-to staple food for those busy mornings before school. When the kids go back to class this year, start their mornings right with one of our favorite cereals for the little ones: EnviroKidz. Certified USDA Organic, this cereal also comes in conveniently portable cereal bars, and it makes a great bedtime or after-school snack as well. What’s even better is that one percent of proceeds from the sale of this cereal go to fund wildlife protection and habitat conservation efforts.

Selected Varieties. 10 to 14 oz. package. $3.79, Save … 70¢

Health Notes with Dr. Liz

Snacking Sense

As you gear up for the start of school, make sure healthy snacking is on your to-do list. Kids need to snack, especially after school. Their growing, active bodies and brains need fuel more frequently throughout the day than adults. In fact, 20 to 30 percent of kids’ daily energy needs should come from snacks.

After-school snack offerings should supply good-for-you carbohydrates from whole grains, fruits and vegetables. These foods also provide needed fiber for healthy intestinal tracts.

Snacks should also supply protein such as dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese), soy (soy cheese or milk), peanut butter or lean meats (roasted chicken or turkey). Kids not only need this for growth, but protein also helps their tummies feel full and holds them through to dinnertime. Here are some quick-fix snack suggestions:

• Mix ½ cup Greek yogurt (higher in protein than regular) and a teaspoon of honey for a sweet dip with apple slices.
• On a whole grain English muffin half, spread a tablespoon of pasta sauce and melt a slice of mozzarella cheese to make a fast pizza, or see Nugget’s recipe for Toaster Oven Pizza (above).
• Make an irresistible snack mix by combining 2 cups microwave popcorn and ¼ cup peanuts tossed with a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese.
• Whip up a fast shake with 1 cup low-fat chocolate milk, ½ banana and two ice cubes in a blender.
• Spread a ½ whole wheat tortilla with 1 teaspoon low-fat sandwich spread and roll up with a slice of roasted turkey and one grated carrot inside for a crunchy hand-held wrap.
