Summary: When you are starving, feeling edgy and empty, instead of snacking on soda, potato chips and those deceiving sugar soaked granola bars, enjoy some popcorn trail mixes, fresh spring water, or some hummus and real food chips. Make these healthy snacks at home, or, if you are on the run, we have some new innovative grab and go healthier snacks you lean on to fill afternoon hunger and cravings. Both are better choices for adults and kids alike. I find walking down the snack aisle of a grocery store depressing – so many empty fat-loving, sodium-laden bags of empty carbs. Good news! We are here to tell you about the new bright lights of packaged snacks showing up on those shelves. Here in our Family Food Experts Kitchen, to help you fill your afternoon hungry tummies with needed nutrients, and, to identify those grab and go snacks that are worth your hard earned dollars is our co-host, Stacey Antine, RD, (HealthBarn USA, Appetite for Life). And, we have the perfect guest to talk about healthy snack trends, Terry Meyer, Vice President of Good Health Natural Products. He is an expert who lives, breathes and sleeps snacks and his news is delicious! Come into our Family Food Experts Kitchen on www.W4WN.com. Listen in while you are busy preparing or already enjoying your dinner. See you then! … for the health of your family, ellen (host) KidKritics.com
