Are you ready for Fall?  It's just a week away!  Fortunately, not all Fall snacks are unhealthy.  There are plenty of treats that are good for growing bodies and teeth!

Healthy Autumn Snacks:

Autumn Fruit Salad
Fall is the season for apple picking!  Apples are also one of the best foods for your teeth!  The extra crunch helps keep tiny teeth clean while they snack.  Add apples, pears, and grapes to your autumn fruit salad.  Check out the recipe here.

Fall Parfait
Yogurt is good for you and your teeth.  It has vitamin D that helps keep teeth healthy!  Create a Fall parfait with yogurt cinnamon, pecans and apple slices!

Cheese Platter
Cheese is filled with calcium (and sometimes vitamin D).  While eating it in excess is bad for you, it is a great way to get calcium for strong bones!

It's not always easy to keep up with busy kids on the move.  These seasonal snacks are both budget-friendly and healthy!

Healthy Fall Snacks:

Apple Slices - Apples are a great fall snack.  If your kids don't like apples on their own, try dipping them in peanut butter.  Their crunchiness makes them a great choice for your teeth too! 

Ants on a Log - Another crunchy snack, spreading peanut butter on celery with raisins or other dried fruits is a fun snack for kids. 

Pumpkin Muffins - It's pumpkin season!  Baked pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are a great way to start the day or refuel after school.  Whether fresh or canned, pumpkin is a healthy and festive snack choice.  You can find several recipes online or try your hand at your own.
