For the Kids!!!

Sorry not a great picture! So, during the recent nutrition seminar, I had someone ask me what about kids and paleo. And I realized we haven't really done any snacks, stuff for after school, between practice and lessons. Easily packable and healthy options so here ya go. (Plus I get the benefit of having a full fridge for the 4 empty pits that live in my house ;)  )
 
 
1st: cut celery, carrots, bell peppers and a smaller tupperware clean ranch dressing
2nd: cut melons in a fruit salad
3rd: Cucumber salad (sliced cucumbers and sweet onions in a 1 to 1/2 ratio of apple cider vinegar and honey)
4th: apple chicken sausages
5th: pumpkin snack bites (recipe to below)
6th: beef jerky (recipe to below)
 
 
 
PUMPKIN SNACK BITES:
Ingredients:
1 C. pumpkin (canned is fine)
2 Tbsn honey
1/2 C. coconut flour
1 egg
3/4 C almond butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 C coconut milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 C dark chocolate chips (I found mine at huckleberries in Spokane but I'm sure theres some at Pilgrams)

Oven at 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients well, scoop onto a cookie sheet by the spoonful and bake for about 25 minutes.


BEEF JERKY:
Ingredients:
1 lbs beef jerky
1/2 C soy sauce (wheat free)
1/2 C pineapple juice
garlic powder, salt and pepper to liking

Mix all ingredients together well. Put the meat between two sheets of wax paper and roll out even and flat. slice into 1 1/2 inch width pieces and put into the dehydrater for about 5 to 6 hours. The thinner the faster it's done and the crunchier it is, or roll it out a little thicker and make it chewer. You can do this in the oven too 205 degrees, crack the oven to let the moisture out and about 3-4 hours.
