When I'm hungry, and crave a little something between meals, my mom wants to make sure I have a healthy snack. One choice she approves of is fruit. I'm always allowed to have apples, pears, and grapes that are in the refrigerator. Have you ever eaten frozen grapes? Seedless, icy grapes taste like little purple popsicles. Yum! sometimes we pop popcorn. My mom uses an air popper because she says the popcorn is better for me. When Mom's around, no butter is allowed on the popcorn at our house. Once in awhile Dad and I melt a tiny bit of butter and drizzle it over the top. Another snack Mom goes for is carrot and celery sticks. When I dip them in ranch dressing or peanut butter, they are quite tasty. Finally, I enjoy eating raisins and nuts. We keep a big jar where they are mixed together in a squishy and crunchy combination. These scrumptious and nutritious treats are just what I need to tame the between meal tummy-monster.
