Between one game and another, a dip in the sea or a walk in the mountains, children need energy even during the summer holidays.
We know that they never stay still and, mid-morning as in the afternoon, it is important to guarantee them the right amount of hydration and nourishment. So get organized in time, bringing your snack with you in a simple and convenient format!
Lots of fruit!
The snack must include carbohydrates, vitamins, water and fiber. Fruit is one of the simplest solutions, not only because summer really offers a colorful and sweet variety of fruits that even children like, but also because it can be offered in different formats. For example it is perfect bought fresh and cut at home in cubes to be kept in airtight single-portion containers. For children it is easier to consume it in this way, perhaps with the addition of a toothpick or a colored fork. Choose the sweetest and tastiest fruits of the season, such as melon and watermelon, but also peaches, apricots and blueberries.

Drinking water is an adventure!
Any snack that respects itself must surely provide the right amount of water. The summer heat also makes children lose a lot of fluids, which must be replenished frequently through water, mineral salts and vitamins. It is best to avoid offering them sugary drinks, either because they are not enough to quench their thirst after a first contentment, or because they are too high in calories. Therefore, always keep a bottle of quality natural water, such as the Norda, in your bag, which comes from Bedonia on the Parma Apennines at the foot of Mount Pelpi. The novelty of this summer is that you can find the bottles of water Norda with the Characters of Toy Story 4, which will encourage children to drink more often. Have fun collecting them all!
Then remember, if possible, to opt for not too cold water, removing it from the fridge a little earlier than the consumption. If the ice water at first gives the impression of quenching your thirst, when it is very cold it is consumed in smaller sips and can annoy the stomach.
Dried fruit
Walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds: dried fruit is rich in omega 3 and is good for the skin. It is therefore an interesting solution for a summer snack for children, when the skin is subjected to temperature changes and the effects of the sun. Practical to carry in a container on the bag, it must be combined with the right hydration so as to recover energy and replenish liquids.
The Yogurt
You will need a small fridge bag to keep it fresh, but yogurt is a valuable ally to cool off and give children an extra dose of protein. You can also choose it white and add the seasonal fruit, for example bringing with you blueberries or a chopped apricot …
