Quick and Healthy Snacks on the Go – Kid Approved

October 2, 2013 by Jenni 230 Comments

Quick and Healthy Snacks on the Go

Quick and Healthy Snacks on the Go – Kid Approved

Quick and healthy snacks on the go can make your lives so much easier when you have a busy schedule! It keeps you from having to stop at a fast food window, plus you can ensure that your kids are getting healthy snacks! I find that it’s easier to write out and plan a week’s worth of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and include snacks too! That way I don’t have to guess and stand there at the cabinet or fridge trying to decide what to serve.

eMeals makes this process super duper easy for me. Have you heard of them? You must check them out…they’re my #1 source for saving money on my grocery bill (besides coupons of course).

First of all, how does having a weekly meal plan with a coordinating shopping list sent to you sound? Already made, with no work on your part! Who wouldn’t love that?! That is exactly what eMeals does for me, each and every week. They offer many different meal plan options. You can choose from the classic meal plan, paleo, gluten free, vegan and more.

eMeals really focuses on creating different and delicious meal plans using common ingredients. They also plan meals based on items that are often on sale or in season. They know that in season produce is cheaper than out of season produce. You can even choose your own store to shop at, and eMeals will send you your shopping list with prices based on the store you choose. You can opt for Walmart, Kroger, Target, Aldi, Publix, Whole Foods and more!

eMeals

This service saves me SO much time and money! I always stick to my weekly meal plan and shopping list, and then just buy the occasional snack foods and things that aren’t on the list that we need in addition. Dave Ramsey recommends eMeals to help families who are budgeting and saving money! I can say first hand that it helps us save money each and every week and I wouldn’t know what I’d do without them! Their year’s subscription is just $5 per month!! That works out to roughly just $1.25 a week!!


Here are (5) Kid-Approved Snack Ideas, courtesy of eMeals:

  1. Make your own trail mix by combining raisins, freeze-dried fruits, nuts, sunflower seeds, and whole grain cereal.
  2. Serve apple slices with string cheese and whole grain crackers.
  3. Make half a sandwich with whole grain bread, peanut butter, and banana slices.
  4. Serve hummus with whole wheat pita and baby carrots for dipping.
  5. Build your own yogurt parfaits with low fat yogurt, fresh berries, and whole grain granola.

What sorts of healthy snacks do you give your kids? Preferably healthy snacks that travel well?! Leave us a comment, we’d love to hear your snack ideas!!

Pulled Pork Sliders Recipe

Planning a tailgating party soon? This Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sliders recipe is perfect for your football fans. It’s really easy to make and one that I know your family will enjoy just as much as mine does. I mean, pulled pork sliders and tailgating go hand in hand, right?!

This recipe is actually one that I got from eMeals. I use eMeals all the time! They save me so much time and money. When I found out that Dave Ramsey recommends it, I was very interested and now I know why! Dave is KING of teaching how to save money and become debt free. eMeals is definitely a tool to help with the grocery budget!

Long story short, eMeals is a meal planning subscription service. You sign up and they send you weekly meal plans and recipes, along with a full grocery list for your items. You can choose what store you shop at (I chose Walmart) and they’ll even send you prices along with your grocery list. It really cuts down on my grocery bill plus we’re always having something NEW and I never get stuck in a meal planning rut! I LOVE it!! I’m really good about sticking to my grocery list it sends me.


Okay, enough about all of that…you’re here for the recipe, right? Here it is:

Ingredients:

6 lb bone-in pork should roast, trimmed
2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons pepper
18 oz bottle barbecue sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 (12-count) packages slider buns
16 oz jar bread and butter pickles

Directions:

Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.
Combine roast, barbecue sauce, broth and vinegar in a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on Low 8 hours or until roast is very tender.
Remove pork to a cutting board; shred with 2 forks.
Return pork to slow cooker, and discard bones.
Toss pork to coat with sauce; serve on slider buns with pickles and enjoy!

If you decide to sign up for eMeals right now, you’ll get a BONUS Free Tailgating Menu Plan which is where this recipe came from! ENJOY!!
