1. Nuts
Nuts are high in healthy fats, along with fiber and antioxidants. Dietary fat is important for supporting growth in children. Doctors used to recommend withholding nuts from children due to the risk of an allergic reaction, but more recent evidence suggests that introducing nuts at an early age lowers this risk.
2. Trail mix
As long as your child is not allergic to nuts, trail mix is a healthy snack for kids to eat on the go. Most commercial trail mixes contain chocolate candies, which are high in sugar, but you can easily make your own at home. For a healthier version, mix nuts, dried fruit, and a whole-grain cereal.
