What kind of snacks and drinks are best?
A. Choose healthy snacks from at least two of the four food groups following Canada’s Guide for Healthy Living. Limit snacking to only 2-3 times a day. Change the type of snacks often. If there is no choking hazard, offer raw vegetables or fresh fruit and cheese. Offer sweet or starchy snacks infrequently (once a week only) and rinse with water or brush after snacking. Water is the best thing to drink between meals. Milk is essential for a healthy diet. Serve milk with meals. Refer to The Canada Food Guide to Healthy Living.
Hello,
I think to maintain good healthy, vegetarian snacks are good options to have. Even you can choose healthy options like chickpeas, nuts, almonds etc as well. I think for drink its good to have regular drinking water and some good healthy beverages made up of fruits which should be limited in sugar and salt as well.
