If you and your kids are tired of the same old routine for after school snacks, try opening up the After School Sandwich Bar & Grill. Tap into your kids creativity and possibly their competitive natures by setting out some:
- whole grain bread or tortillas
- nut butters
- cheese slices
- dried fruits (raisins, or berries)
- sliced fruits (apples or mandarin oranges)
- grill pan, sandwich press or toaster
When a half sandwich or quesadilla involves protein from nuts or cheese plus some fruit and the whole grain from the bread or tortilla, you've got a nutritional knock-out that is just the right size for snack time. Plus you're kids may come up with some creative and gourmet combinations. For example:
- grilled whole wheat tortilla, colby jack and granny smith
- toasted wheat bread, almond butter, mandarin orange slices and a few mini-chocolate chips
- peanut butter, dried berry panini
Let your kids (and your own) creativity run wild and with very little prep or clean-up you've got a fun, new after-school snack to add to your repertoire.
