The right snacks are good
You have high-energy needs – snacking helps to bridge the gap between each meal so that you have a steady supply of energy for your in-line skating and your physically active lifestyle!
Safe and Snappy Snacking!
- Dip fruit pieces into a cool yogurt or mix pieces of a variety of fruits, add some granola, and toss together in your yogurt container.
- Spread some nut butter onto a celery stalk, a slice of banana or a sliver of apple.
- Tear up pita bread and dip in salsa.
- Add almond butter between graham crackers or rice cakes.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over your tortilla; add a touch of salsa on top.
- Stash small bags of dried fruits and unsalted nuts and seeds into any bag, or back pack… in case of an emergency snack attack!
- Who said cereals were only for breakfast? Carry them around in a sealed bag and you can snack wherever you go!
- Try a salmon snack pack – a mini can of salmon, some crackers and relish.
Stay Cool & Avoid Mid-Day Meltdown!
- Use an insulated lunch bag to help keep foods cool.
- Freeze your fruit and vegetable juices and use them to keep foods cool inside your lunch bag.
- Even better, use a freezer pack designed for lunch bags.
- If using paper lunch bags, create layers by double bagging to help insulate the food. To keep lunches cold away from home, include a small frozen gel pack or frozen juice box.
- If there’s a refrigerator available, store perishable items there upon arrival.
Pack all animal foods next to your freezer pack or frozen juice box – and eat these foods first! - Freeze your yogurt overnight and keep it for some afternoon delight!
