Back to School With Blue Band Snacks
The kids just got back to school and we are looking forward to having them come home tired and hungry every afternoon. It’s tempting to give them junk food as they wait for dinner but that would be unhealthy and expensive.
This year, make after-school snacks healthy and fun while growing great kids with blue band margarine. Here are some of the ideas for home made, nutritious snacks that will keep our kids full in time for dinner.

Egg Sandwich
Add some excitement to your usual sandwich with this ten minute snack. First, you need to have your pan greased with margarine and ready for cooking.

Burger Bun sandwich
Alternatively, Instead of the usual bread sandwich, try a burger bun this year. It’s definitely tastier and looks much more interesting than the normal boring bread.

Homemade biscuits
Instead of buying biscuits, make them at home this time round. This will give you a chance to make them healthier, fluffier and of course sweeter. Add margarine to your mixture of dry ingredients. For 8-16 servings, you will only need about 6 tablespoons of margarine. Here is a recipe to help you out.
- Pancakes
Other than being a healthy family snack, pancakes will in addition keep your kids full for longer. Two tablespoons of margarine will be enough to make it tastier. Remember to spice up them with chocolate and pudding sauce.
Using margarine in snacks boosts the development of your child including brain development. This means that you don’t have to worry about the kids struggling with their homework.
