What does the ideal snack for children consist of?
If cakes are chosen for their nutritional value, children’s snacks must be made up of several foods in order to be balanced and provide everything your child needs. According to nutritionists, the ideal snack therefore consists of a dairy product (glass of milk, yogurt or even cottage cheese); a portion of fruit (preferably seasonal); and starchy foods in the form of cereal products (whole grains). These provide carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fiber for good intestinal transit.
Be aware, however, that snack time is not an essential meal given the fact that daily sugar intakes are very often higher than nutritional recommendations. Therefore, it is better to favor homemade snacks which allow the quantities of sugar to be adjusted and to ensure the quality of the foods consumed by the youngest.
