Top 5 Sport Snacks for Kids - According to Eagles Youth Football Camp
Bananas: Bananas are a great post-game treat and work well for sports of all seasons. Cut them in half for players and pair with a carbohydrate such as a granola bar or graham cracker.
Peanut Butter: Kids love peanut butter, and as long as there are no food allergies on your team (be sure to double check with coaches and parents), peanut butter is a great source of protein. Spread on top of whole grain muffins or use it as a dip for celery sticks.
String Cheese: Even kids that aren't necessarily fond of cheese love string cheese—let’s face it, it’s a fun food! Pair string cheese with a fruit such as apples or grapes and you have a healthy way to end the game.
Tortillas: You can wrap anything inside a tortilla and kids will think it’s really fun. Fruit and cream cheese, lunch meat and cheddar cheese…whatever your healthy food combination, roll inside a tortilla and cut into smaller pieces for tiny hands to handle.
Chocolate Milk: Keeping kids hydrated is key during sport season and water should be ever-present before, during and after the game. But, as a special post-game treat, offer kids some chocolate milk—it’s one of the healthiest drink options for kids and adults.
