From the depths of one small metal box covered with slender calved pink fairies and wistful looking princesses, I endeavour to supply my culinarily adventurous 7 year old daughter Coco with an appetizing array of lunch offerings for her to take to school each day.
I have discovered that the more ambitious we become with the daily delights, the more disappointed we end up by whats available on our supermarket shelves.
A trip to my local supermarket, recycled canvas bag in hand, had me tripping and fumbling my way through a product list on the back of a granola bar that contained no less than 39 separate ingredients. I thought I was buying a cereal bar not a tub of polyunsaturated cholesterol free omega enriched low salt margarine.
As I’m not one that normally sports a scientist in my handbag when I go to the grocery store whom is able to tell me what raising agents 170 and food acid 296 are doing shacked up together in my cereal bar alongside a mountain of sugar and a truck load of fat (breathe breathe), I decided that what’s best for me and little Miss Coco is a matter of refining and simplifying the snack process.
So in times of great inspirational need, I find myself chatting with fellow foodie friends on twitter like @dragonskitchen and @figandcherry and visiting my favourite Internet food blogs to help me collect a beautiful selection of healthy snack recipes that I can now share with you in all there wholegrain glory.
I have avoided recipes that are high in fat, sugar and anything artificial or plastic sounding, as well as trying to keep it interesting and palate exciting for who is now a mighty pleased wee scholar.

I'd have liked to see even more fruit and nuts (outside of granola), perhaps some raw food goodies. But excellent list, nonetheless. Roasted chickpeas are one of my favorites and I admit to sometimes snacking on plain edamame with nothing but a little salt.
Will be retweeting this.
@lilly how beautiful are these blogs??!!! Lets share and spread the word!
