Dear Ms Beaumont

For our homework We have decided to work together. We have come up with a list of healthy snacks we thought would be good for in the canteen , and other students would enjoy.We also thought about easy to make snacks. Some you might need to search and look at the recipes.we have thought of 20 ideas and put why we chose these. We hope you enjoy☆

1. Fruit Kebabs

Yummy and easy to make, just stick some fruit on a stick and done.

2. Smoothies

They are healthy and students look forward to having a drink other  than water sometimes

3. healthy muffins

There are lots of different flavours you can make. You could replace the sugar in them with a natural sweetener (honey).. These will be a hit if you don't say they are made with natural sweetener.

4. bliss balls

A yummy surprise.They are rolled in shredded coconut to add that yummy taste on the outside as well.

5. homemade fruit juice

6. Meat kebabs

Meat kebabs are a good idea for the canteen because they have a good source of protein and are delicious , plus they will keep the students full of energy for the rest of period 3

7. cucumber , carrot , celery with onion dip

My mum makes these at my party and they go in about 10 minutes

8. homemade fruit  ice-blocks

These are good for summer. A delicious cool treat.

9. vegetable kebabs

Vegetable kebabs are healthy and delicious if you have cheese sauce with it.

10. Healthy pancakes -w- healthy toppings

Healthy pancakes are a great idea for the canteen because they can be small enough to be sold to students at lunch and you can get an extra healthy boost if you use spelt flour instead of normal flour. Instead of using golden or maple syrup for toppings  , you can use greek yoghurt with blueberries , canadian maple syrup , strawberries and banana , canadian maple syrup and banana. The reason these toppings are a good Idea is because they are all healthy toppings,

11. Potato salad.

It is yummy and healthy it is also a good choice for a lunch because it will give you energy.

12. fruit salad

It is a yummy mixture of fruit and can be a good snack. You can do different mixtures e.g banana, apple, blueberries and kiwi fruit OR feijoas, oranges, apples and bananas

13. chicken pita pockets

This choice is fulling and healthing. easy to make in advance and will keep fresh until lunch time.

14. banana , peanut butter, sushi rolls

When we found these they looked really good and we wanted to grab them out of the screen and eat them. They are like a healthy treat and easy to make.you could put 5 pieces in  a little pack because it is small

15. carrot , cheese and crackers

16. kale Chips

My Mum makes this at home and it's a hit. It's really crispy and tastes the best with salt. If you make these when you make them you put the salt on after you put them in the oven.you could serve in paper bags.      - Abbie

17. Kumara chips

My Mum also makes these at home and are like the kale chips. They go crispy and are good with salt. You can serve in paper bags because they are a hit. -Abbie

18. peanut and banana

Just easy to make and delicious. Good snack and very easy to make !

19. Sushi burgers

At the Havelock North high school they have these ,and they sound really good. They are a good choice and you can make them any size. For fillings you could do salmon avocado and chicken.

20. Banana Dippers    

We found these and thought they would be easy. They are just pieces of banana with peanut butter and  nuts on top.

So those are our 20 Idea's for the canteen , we really hope that these have helped and we will be excited to see if any of these end up on the canteen menu.

Thankyou for reading.

Yours sincerely ,

Nina and Abbie
