Healthy Snack Idea: Apple Dippers washed, cut and packaged in small see-through bags make perfectly healthy snacks – not just for kids. I always tuck one into my purse before leaving the house. I want my apple! But without the caramel dip, of course…
I certainly don’t need more than my medium size apple of about 70-80 calories. Yes, a sacrifice necessary, even if it means to omit oh so sugary, deliciously gooey caramel dipping. I leave that for the kids…
Dipping definitely empowers a child. Apple slices dipped in caramel is one healthy snack that they can also have fun with. The following video demonstrates what you can do with apples when you pair them with different shapes of fruit and vegetables, some cheeses, and just a couple of toothpicks. A deliciously healthy idea for the next unexpected neighborhood kid’s party held in your kitchen… and also a nice change from Macaroni and Cheese – don’t you think?
Why are apples so healthy?
One apple supplies 20 percent (5g) of the fiber we need daily. Pectin in apple peel helps control appetite and can be filed under healthy diet snacks. Less hungry, we won’t be hunting for the next meal too soon. Apples also contains potassium for muscle and heart health.
