Tofu and peanut butter dip with apple slices
This dip is a kid-approved after-school snack that encourages a broad, balanced diet.
Kids come home from school hungry and often head straight to the fridge. We’re lucky to hear a “What’s there to eat, Mom?” because it gives us a bit of control over their nutrition!
This tofu peanut butter dip is a kid-pleasing staple. It also aligns with recent recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. They encourage us to think of our kids’ nutrition broadly rather than worrying about the specific amounts of sugar, salt, fat, and individual nutrients.
If enjoying small amounts of treats like this encourages kids to eat a wider range of fresh, healthy whole foods, then go for it! This is also great in lunches — for big and little kids alike!
