Any time is a good time to snack on fruits and vegetables.
Try dried apples or apricots, applesauce, carrots, bananas, broccoli and any others in the morning, after school or while reading or watching television. Fruits and vegetables come in all sizes, shapes, and lots of colors. They are available fresh, frozen, canned and dried. Many fruits and vegetables, such as a box of raisins, a banana, grapes, an apple, peach, pear or orange, fruit juice, sweet red pepper, carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes are ready to go when you are. Other vegetables can be ready in about 5 minutes including steamed broccoli or spinach, tossed greens, stir-fried zucchini and yellow squash, or a microwaved sweet potato or baking potato.
