Snack time

My Babybear love eating snacks, that's why I always make sure to stock up snacks at home. I actually disagrre with some people who thinks that snack is unhealthy because for me its is a way to combat hunger in between meals. plus you can get extra energy and nutrients that your body needs, you just have to pick the right snack. That is why I'm always on the look-out for different snacks on the groceries, Before, whenever she likes a particular snack I hoard them and stock up at home, then I noticed she gets "umay" on those snacks because I repeatedly offer it to her for like twice a day in 2 to 3 days (thinking that she likes that snack so much). But now what I do is I buy a piece or two of different snacks, and let her choose what she wants whenever she ask for something to eat. In that way I will not be force to eat those snacks she wasn't able to consume, and able to lessen also our food wastage.I'm glad that most of snacks that can be found at the groceries are on single packs.

These are Jashley's supply of snacks for two weeks. We do our grocery shopping every 2 weeks, I make sure to replenish them every 2 weeks, those snacks that she wan't able to consume I bring them in the office to snack on them if they still fit to consume otherwise we throw them away.

Snacking wouldn't be complete without a refreshing drinks. And here are her favorites yakult and dutchmill and her favorite jelly pudding, I hide them on those plastic containers. because eversince she learned how to open the refrigerator on her own, she can easily sneak out those snacks. When it's near meal time na kasi we don't allow her to eat snacks anymore so she's able to eat her meal.

I sometimes let her indulge on these sweet treats also. I know these are not healthy at all but I don't want her to deprive on this kind of treats naman, after all she's a kid so she deserves to experience this from time to time. I just have to control her intake of these and always make sure that she brushes her teeth after she take those sweets.

I also don't forget to bring some of those snacks whenever were out for a trip or going to church, I always bring extra because my little girl loves sharing her food with her friends on church, then lately some of her friend's Mommies also started bringing extra snacks so their kids can share also, It's so nice that the kids is learning how to share their foods to each other.

How about you Mommies, care to share your kids favorite snacks?
