I need to find a snack for twelve 4 yr olds that is healthy and that starts with the letter "L". Any ideas???

Wow, that's a tricky one! Brainstorming...

lactose- Something to do with milk/dairy
leeks- ??
legumes - Peanuts are legumes but I wouldn't go there due to possible allergies. Something with peas or beans. I'm sure that would go over real well with kids. LOL! Not.
lemons - Lemonade? Lemon drop cookies? Search allrecipes.com and see what they have for lemon recipes
liver - LOL!
liquorice/ lollipop - Not considered healthy
Lunchables - You could make homemade lunchables with cheese and crackers, etc.

Lettuce wraps
Left overs
Lemon custard
I'll keep thinking

-Life cereal
-ants on a LOG
-Lemonade bar (Sunkist makes one or you can pour lemonade into a dixie cup, insert popsiscle stick, freeze)
-Lucky Charms cereal

I'll let you know if I think of anything else.

I got your email. I'm heading out the door in a minute (I have to attend an oratorical and then a meeting), but I promise I'll write back real soon!

Thanks guys. Yall came up with more than I could. All I could think of was lollipops. Which is a no-no in his class. I look forward to hearing from you Stacy!!

could you make cup cakes and decorate them like Ladybugs and have lemon/lime kool aide with it???

By Vicki on Saturday, January 22, 2005 - 07:13 pm:

oh nevermind...don't think I would call that healthy!! LOL

That is a cute idea Vicki, but his teacher is very strict on the healthy part of it. I don't know if I succeeded in finding a healthy one or not, but I am going to make Lemon Poppy-seed Muffins. Hopefully that will do!!
