If you’ve ever been on snack duty for your little one’s practices and games, you know there’s something pretty cool about being the parent that brings the best snacks and the idea of being that parent that brings something “gross” is to be avoided at all costs. It’s not always easy though to come up with ideas that are loved by kids and are also healthy enough to please other parents. Food allergies are a big factor when planning snacks as well, so always check ahead of time.
To help you be an all-star snack giver, we’ve come up with a list we think are the Top Ten Best Sports Snacks (in no particular order).
- String cheese or mini BabyBel cheeses
- Frozen green and purple seedless grapes
- Orange and/or apple slices
- Mixed berry frozen pops (raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries)
- Fruit Kabobs with apples, bananas, and pears
- Turkey, cheese & avocado tortilla pinwheel wraps
- Ice cold watermelon wedges (seed spitting contest optional!)
- Homemade trail mix with raisins, pretzel sticks, dried pineapple, puffed rice, and dried bananas
- Bing cherries
- Baby carrots and celery sticks with tzatziki sauce or low fat Ranch dressing
Which of these snacks do you think will be the biggest hit with your little leaguers?
And when the season ends and you want to reward your little all-star(s) with a gift, consider personalized growth charts or personalized shirts, like a Big Sister Tshirt or a Big Brother Tshirt, like the Batter Up design.
