Aren't there healthier options to serve?



Absolutely.  

The issue that comes up frequently with "healthier" is that it mostly means homemade and some of our allergic children cannot eat from anyone's kitchen.  Nevertheless, there are healthier options available, such as those listed in the Fruits and Vegetables section, and we can add organic items here for those of you who wish to provide those types of snacks.   Without getting into a big debate over what's healthy and what's not, please understand that the "healthy" food item, if deadly to our child, is not preferable.  For a comprehensive list of "real food" nut-free items, please visit the 100 days of real food blog, specifically this page, real food blog snack list.
