Whose kids are not starving after school? I don’t know about you but the minute mine walk in the door, they act as if they haven’t eaten in days and are totally famished! I mean, I don’t blame my son who’s in 4th grade, given that he eats lunch at 10:30am! Poor guy. That’s a mid- morning snack in my book! With that being said, I really try to capitalize on this ravenous hunger and have healthy choices available to them immediately. This is a perfect time to have fruits and veggies on hand. That seems simple enough but we all know how easily kids can get bored of the same old thing. To make fruits and veggies more interesting, pair them with fun, easy dipping sauces or spreads. This Oatmeal Cookie Dip is a perfect example of providing a healthy treat that is so crazy good but is also loaded with nutrition. It also only takes about 3 minutes to make, you can’t beat that. My kids gobble this one up and I’m not going to lie, I have been known to gobble it up too!! Trust me. I am confident that you will Love it!
