Healthy Snacks!

Hello! My name is Alex P. Alien. I am 8 years old and I just moved to America from outer space! I have been feeling a little green lately. My parents told me that I am only allowed to eat healthy snacks from now on! I guess my bowl of chocolate covered gummy bears was not good enough for them! So I have too…..

Oh no! Here comes my sister! What does she want?

Excuse me little brother I heard you talking about healthy snacks to that human looking at us right now and well I know all about healthy snacks! Hello human! My name is Allison E. Alien and I am 10 years old. I eat healthy snacks all the time! I love apples and a snack that you humans call Cheerios. YUM! Just look at your food pyramid to find healthy snacks. My best friends and I all have different food pyramids because we come from different cultures! Well, I have to roll! I am having my wheels oiled for a dance tonight! Bye!

Blah! Blah! Blah! I think she just likes to hear herself talk! Even though I hate to admit it, she is right about looking at a food pyramid to find healthy snacks. So, I need some help! Can you find three healthy snacks to eat and then let me know? Use a food pyramid to help you out. You would really be helping me out! It would help if you wrote the three snacks down so that you can remember when you tell me! Thanks so much!

What is a healthy snack?

A healthy snack is something that will make your body feel good and will give you energy. A banana, popcorn or yogurt is a great healthy snack to eat!

What is a food pyramid?

A food pyramid is a chart that is shaped like a triangle. The triangle is split into food group parts like fruit, meats or dairy. Each group tells you how much of that food you should eat.
