SNACKS KIDS CAN MAKE

5/1/2019

Building confidence in the kitchen can start at any age. If a child knows how to do some prep work to get to a healthy snack, they’ll not only get the satisfaction of accomplishing a task, they’ll also gain some independence and learn to not always go for the quicker and maybe less healthy snack. Here are some quick snacks kids can make and enjoy:

• Trail Mix - Using ingredients such as granola, cereal, raisins, pretzels, and peanuts you can create your own trail mix and then portion it into small sandwich bags that are ready to go.

• Bananas and Peanut Butter - Cutting bananas and spreading peanut butter are great for kids because it doesn’t require a sharp knife. This winning combo is simple yet delicious.

• Veggies and dip - Whether it’s broccoli and ranch or carrots and hummus, kids can easily get this combo going.

• Meat and cheese rollups - Take a tortilla, add lunch meat slices, cheese, and even some greens, roll up, and eat!

• Protein bites - Team up with them and make these on the weekend to enjoy throughout the week when kids need a quick, powerful snack.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
