SNACKS

Snacks are so useful for those with small appetites to maximise nutrition. However some snacks become mini meals or I have seen little children being given large sausage rolls and large bags of sweets as a snack.

Some ideas

Fruit of all types including the mini fruit pots ideal to keep in the office or tool box
Pop corn
Lentil snacks
Carrot sticks or celery sticks and hummus, or cottage cheese or my favourite marmite 
Nuts of all kinds eg almonds
Small portions of dried fruits
Crispbreads or oat biscuits on their own or with a topping
Small sandwich
Small slice of toast
Small bagel 
Rice cakes
