Children's portable snacks
As some of you know, I'm teaching a class called The Happy Kitchen--a combination nutrition and cooking class--at the YMCA. We had a new group of students this week. One said that her 6 year old daughter has two after school sports on the same day with about an hour break in between. She is, understandably, hungry, and tends to only eat commercial granola bars. Other than fruit and sandwiches (which the child apparently doesn't like), can you give me some suggestions for healthy, low sugar, nutritious, filling portable snacks? (Mom is willing to do some cooking but is not an experienced cook, so nothing too complicated or difficult.) Thanks all!

Another idea are these Breakfast Muffins. They're hidden with fruits and veggies, but the added mashed banana makes them sweet: http://www.healthline.com/health-recipes/breakfast-muffins
