Five ideas for school snacks for your kids -

1. Roti with jaggery and ghee is rich in iron and minerals and a quick go-to snack for the long ride back home or post a sports class.
2. Homemade laddoos made with aliv (garden cress seeds), jaggery and coconut ensure that moods don’t swing and energy levels don’t drop.
3. Banana is great even on days your child feels like skipping lunch in school, containing enough nutrients to equip them for the long day.
4. Nimbu sherbet with a little ginger, kesar (saffron) and black pepper is great for the stomach and works as an antidote to indigestion and fatigue that dehydration causes.
5. Homemade chakli, mathri and chivda are healthy options that leave your children well nourished for all their daily tasks.
