Are there healthier alternatives to sugary snacks and beverages?
Yes, there are healthier alternatives to sugary snacks and beverages. Instead of sugary drinks, parents can offer water, milk, or 100% fruit juice (in limited quantities). For snacks, options like fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, and whole-grain crackers are better choices. Homemade snacks using natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup in moderation can also be healthier alternatives.
