I realize as I write this that our fridge is always stocked with the ingredients to make a decent charcuterie board, which I think is a wonderful afterschool snack for adults and kids alike. You can omit the gum, but it will lose much of the volume and lightness. As the gum and everything blends at high speed, it beats air into the now thickened mixture that gets creamy and light. You put it all in a food processor and blend. At its base level, it is natural flavorings, protein powder, yogurt or milk alternative, ice, and just a tiny bit of xanthan gum or guar gum. Protein ice cream was something my oldest son discovered from YouTube. Whether we buy it or make it, it tends to disappear quickly. Like fresh fruit, all of our kids love granola. Granola and yogurt have always been among my favorite snacks. I just recently picked up a Korean BBQ flavored one that disappears a little too quickly.
You can buy a set of small packages of them that are just lightly salted or several assorted flavors. He is 20 years old now, and still really loves black olives as a snack.Īnother favorite purchased snack we can’t seem to keep in the house is toasted seaweed. Comically, when my oldest son was a toddler, he thought that black olives were candy because we would get containers of higher quality olives to enjoy, and I think he saw them as a treat. I would rather them eat all the fruit than to eat large quantities of salty and sugary stuff. My wife and I have never kept soda, Kool-Aid, chips, candy or cookies in our house.
Often, I will buy way too much, or at least that is my intention, and it is gone in a day or two. My eldest son loves science just as much as I do, so we discuss and experiment with food chemistry to discover variations of recipes to allow for his caloric needs.Įarlier column: A love affair with crème bruléeĮveryone in our house loves fresh fruit. We have played around with recipes for granola, protein bars, protein ice cream, both low calorie and high calorie. So, in our house healthy, calorically balanced snacks are important for building muscles and staying fit. Two of my sons are very serious about weightlifting, eating more than 4,000 calories a day while remaining extremely lean. My kids are all in good health and physical condition.
