Fruit Kebabs
Thread small pieces of WIC-approved fruits (such as grapes, strawberries, pineapple chunks, and melon balls) onto wooden skewers for a colorful and fun snack.
Vegetable Sticks with Hummus
WIC-approved vegetable sticks (such as carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes) with a side of hummus for dipping.
Whole Grain Crackers

Offer whole grain crackers with slices of WIC-approved cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella) for a satisfying and nutritious snack.
Yogurt Parfait

Mini Quesadillas
Fill small whole wheat tortillas with shredded WIC-approved cheese and beans, then fold and lightly toast in a skillet for a tasty and protein-packed snack. Serve with salsa.
Homemade Trail Mix
Mix together WIC-approved nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or peanuts), dried fruits (such as raisins, apricots, or cranberries), and whole grain cereal or pretzel pieces for a crunchy and portable snack.
Apple Sandwiches
Slice apples horizontally and remove the core. Spread peanut butter or almond butter on one apple slice and sandwich another slice on top. Optional: add raisins or granola between the slices for extra flavor and crunch.
Frozen Banana Pops

Ants on a Log
Wash celery sticks and cut into halves. Add peanut butter into the pit of each celery stick and spread lengthwise. Push raisins into the peanut butter for the “ants”.
Rice Cake Toppings
Spread rice cakes with WIC-approved toppings such as mashed avocado, cottage cheese, peanut butter, or almond butter. Top with sliced fruits or vegetables for added flavor, texture, and nutrition.
