The Go-To Classics
Chances are, you’ve either sampled these snacks in your youth, or you’ve seen them while Pinteresting. These snacks don’t need a recipe with instruction, but here are a few ideas nonetheless.
1) Celery and peanut butter – the go to classic. Just add raisin and make it a tasteful party.
2) Banana boat – peel your banana, cut in half, add peanut butter.
3) Baby carrots and humus (humus taste great with other veggies like broccoli and bell peppers, too!).
4) Clementines – all you have to do it peel!
5) Fruit kabobs – stack bananas, strawberries, and any other berries you can think of.
6) Toast dipped in hot chocolate – great for snowy days where you want that extra toasty comfort.

8) Veggies – again, no extravagant preparation for these snacks.
