Studies have shown that there is a direct link between brain development and academic performance in relation to health, and clean eating habits among school children.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63873 size-full aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/healthy-snacks-for-kids-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the easiest of tasks these days, to be vigilant for children\u2019s consumption of unhealthy foods with fast foods and sugar-rich options all over the place. But we owe it to our kids to try and limit their consumption of these unhealthy items as best we can. Home cooking, where ingredients can be controlled, is the best source of nutrition for our children. And with that in mind, here are 5 simple and easy to make snacks for your children to keep them energised and healthy.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Almond Granola Bars<\/h2>\n<p>Almonds give this recipe healthy fats and the granola gives it a delicious crunchy texture. Keep these snacks handy to give it to your children in place of candy bars and other less healthy alternatives. They\u2019re full of energy and vital nutrients for growing children.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3151 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/healthy-snacks-for-kids-almond-granola-bars.jpg\" alt=\"healthy-snacks-for-kids-almond-granola-bars\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2. Ragi Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Cookies made with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2023\/02\/20\/5-health-benefits-of-ragi-and-how-to-add-it-to-your-diet\/\">ragi flour<\/a> can give your child a healthy dose of calcium. Coupled with a glass of milk to dunk the cookies into, will give your child a double dose of this essential nutrient. This snack is great in the evenings or even for breakfast with a plate of fruit.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Whole Wheat Crackers<\/h2>\n<p>Healthy whole grains will give your child some complex carbs. The brain needs carbs to function at its highest level. You can make whole wheat crackers by skimping on overly processed white flour and replacing it with whole wheat flour. Toss in some flax seeds and steel-cut oats for added flavour and health benefits.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63425 size-full aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/healthy-snacks-for-kids-whole-wheat-crackers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/534;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>4.
