I started buying graham crackers for Callie around the time she turned one. I knew she would love them because they are probably the sweetest food she's had in her life (besides birthday cake of course)! I bought them for "emergency purposes only." You moms know what I mean...they would buy me a little more time when we're out shopping or running errands before she would totally flip out (hard to imagine, I know). :)
However, I did feel the teeniest bit guilty for giving her something that really has no nutritional value, plus added sugar. And, those "emergencies" ended up being quite a few times a day sometimes because it was an easy way to make her happy. So, she was eating quite a few graham crackers each day.
Until I discovered these...
Carr's Whole Wheat Crackers (thanks for the great idea, mom). They are 100% whole wheat and taste just like a graham cracker. Even better, they have 1/2 a gram of fiber per cracker (watch out!). And Callie LOVES them!
Just an idea, from one mom to another. What are your {healthy} go-to snack ideas for on-the-go?
