Craving a delicious, healthy snack? Read this blog!

Do you crave pizza tantalizing your taste buds but yet also yearn for a healthy snack that fuels your body?  Well, the first graders created just that treat!  And, as a bonus, it is easy to prepare (only 3 ingredients) and inexpensive! The boys and girls critiqued the pizza bites. This treat is low in sodium, no refined sugar, and includes healthy whole wheat. Protein from the dairy group and cereal from the grain group.  Best part is that the boys and girls thought it was delicious. They decided they could substitute different types of crackers for the shredded wheat.  Ms. Loetscher suggested half of a cherry tomato in place of the pizza sauce.  Let us know if you try this delectable snack and if you make any substitutions.  Happy snacking!
