Description
Right before our third child was born, I had this random idea to convert the lowest drawer in our fridge to a “snack drawer.” This way, whether it be my parents helping with my older kids over snack time (while I was newly with the baby) or needing to reach for something satisfying myself, we had a kid-friendly snack drawer stocked with nourishing options at any given time.
Since sharing about this on Instagram, I have gotten several questions about this drawer, how it is used (or could be abused!), and more on the logistics about keeping the food fresh.
That’s why in this episode, I am going to help you to create a kid-friendly snack drawer of your own. I will walk you through where this ought to be in your specific fridge, several healthy snack options to put in it, and how to ease your family into using it. After the episode, you will know just how to set your kids and family up with healthy snack habits that don't have them heading straight for the pantry any time you hear those words, "Mom, I'm hungry!"
