kids milk free snacks by Jenna

So I have a wonderful friend Jenna. Her daughter just grew out of her milk allergies. but I have always been inspired by how healthy her daughter ate. So here is a list of healthier mostly milk free snacks and even some breakfast tips. I got some great ideas from it I hope that you can too. Thank you Jenna and Kaitlyn for sharing with us :)


Banana chips

Dried Apricots

Dried cranberries

Dried Mangos

Really any dried fruit



Trader Joe Products:

Multigrain crackers in the green and white box they are always $1.69

Honey sesame seeds

Honey wheat pretzels

Veggie stick potato snacks (in the chip isle)

Schoolbook cinnamon cookies

Carrot cake muffins without the icing

Cat cookies

Organic Veggie Tortilla strips

Pita chips

Popped potato chips (not bbq they have milk it them just regular)

Fat free caramel popcorn

Lite plain popcorn

Wheat crisps (TJoe’s version of wheat thins)

Fruit Leather

Double Rainbow Soy Cream Mango Vanilla Ice Cream

Soy yogurt



Fresh fruits and veggies are always good snacks but I am sure you know that already. They sell pre-packed small portions of carrots at TJoes.



Costco:

Apple Crisps (kaitlyn LOVES these. They are little apple chips that kind of have a puff feeling)

Fruit Leather (they sell a big pack that is more cost effective)



Regular store items:

Jello

Original sun chips

Quaker Simple Harvest all Natural Cinnamon sugar multigrain granola bar (the only granola bar I found without milk and high fructose corn syrup besides Trader Joes but they had nuts which should not be a problem anymore)



Breakfast ideas:

Waffles (Henry’s has great dairy free ones so does TJoes but they are not as yummy)

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels by Sara Lee

Most cereals are milk free.

Oatmeal

Buckwheat pancake mix from Henrys ( I have not tried this yet but I just bought it so she could have pancakes)



Okay so I hope this helps. I know it is a lot and not all super healthy but she had to live a little too!
