Healthy Snacks for Soccer Games

My daughter loves to play soccer, and it was our turn to bring a snack to the game. It seems as if a lot of unhealthy food is brought to soccer games, which is a contrast of the activity itself. The kids are doing something healthy, so you want to continue that good healthy feeling after the game.

ebfbb3ed12ddf4586287607cf8c90deeWhile some may see nothing wrong with giving their child a sugary treat such as a Popsicle after the soccer game or taking the team for a fast-food hamburger afterwards, it’s important to point out that the children face these kinds of tempting “treats” every single day in their lives. And simply put, junk food does not correlate with a healthy activity.

Here are some healthy snack ideas for your little soccer players:

  • Water (bring extra!)
  • Sweet fruits such as watermelon, strawberries and raspberries
  • String cheese or cubed cheese
  • Chopped veggies like jicama, cucumbers or carrots
  • Larabars
  • Bananas
  • Orange slices
  • Dried fruits (but limit these because they contain more sugar)

 

Remember, if you are bringing a snack for the soccer game, choose something healthy for your children. They’ll eat junk food if you put it in front of them after or during a game, so take charge and make sure their snack is a healthy one!
