For snacks, you can have whole wheat crackers with fresh sliced strawberry- right on top of it. This snack is very tasty and the kids will love it. Often, cream cheese is also included in this, to add more flavor. Mini wheat pizzas can be a great choice for lunch. Split apart English muffins, made of whole wheat are used to make this. You can use two types of sauce; it can either be home made or bought from the store. Make sure it does not have high sugar. Then spread mozzarella cheese on the pizza and don't forget to slice some fresh tomatoes over it too.
