TopFun and healthy snacks
Call the kids into the kitchen for a snack-making workshop. From fruity to sweet to crunchy, here’s a fun variety of tastes and textures to make mixes that are equal parts healthy and delicious.
How to make your own mixes
Set up a fun food workshop for kids by placing various ingredients in separate bowls and organizing them into categories. Your budding chefs will be able to create their own combinations by adding small amounts from each category into a resealable bag or plastic container. It’s a great way to prepare snacks for the week!
These mixes also make for tasty pre-dinner nibbles.
Grown-ups can add some kick to their creations with seasonings like sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, dried herbs, etc.
Find the perfect spice to personalize your snack!
