Over the course of the summer, I’ve been giving a certain section of our home a little makeover. A healthy makeover you could say. It started in our pantry and has moved over to the refrigerator and freezer. That’s right. I did a food makeover. I realized the importance of healthy eating and mainly healthy snacking and knew it was time to make a change.
You see, I am very good at cooking healthy meals and making sure I add in a fruit and vegetable, but our snacking habits were super bad. I let the kids know that they would slowly start to see some changes and what kinds of products I wouldn’t be purchasing anymore. There wasn’t a rebellion. No one packed up their bags and left. It was actually simpler than I thought it would be.

When you’re making changes like this in your family, it’s nice to have a little bit of support. That’s why I took the Bagel Bites Snack Simply Pledge. The pledge asks parents to adhere to three guiding principles for snacking this summer, which include:
- Keep it Simple – Choose simple, easy-to-prepare snacks with wholesome ingredients.
2. Keep it Tasty – Serve snacks kids will love to encourage lots of smiles around the table.
3. Keep it Fun – Take the time to connect with your child and incorporate some simple, family-friendly activities during the daily snack-time routine.
For each person who takes the pledge, Bagel Bites snacks will donate $1 to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, up to $50,000. So there’s an added incentive there, which helps others at the same time.
Healthy snacking doesn’t have to be hard. When the kids are out of school for the summer, it seems that all they want to do is eat! Eat when they’re bored. Eat when they’re reading. Eat when they’re watching TV. Eat. Eat. Eat! By providing some healthy choices and boundaries when it comes to their snacking, it can make things a little easier for mom and dad. And it sets the kids up for healthy eating in their adult years, when momma has no control!
I make snack time fun and simple throughout the summer by making sure the kids know what they can snack on and making the snacks easy to get to and easy to make.
Bagel Bites are perfect and fit into all of those categories. They are microwavable and older kids can easily make them themselves. They can even make them for their younger siblings (whether they want to or not). Did you know that Bagel Bites incorporated grains into their products? From the eight grams of whole grain per serving, the real mozzarella cheese and yummy tomato sauce, Bagel Bites are a great go-to snack choice for the summer. All three of our kids loved them (and so did the husband!).
