Snack Packs

Snack packs are a great opportunity to provide healthy snacks to students and staff. They can be eaten on the run (i.e., playground duty) and can offer busy parents an excellent brain break alternative. Using a variety of vegetables and colours makes the snack packs look appealing. Prepare in advance. Pending ingredients, snack packs can keep for several days.
