Edamame - More than just a sushi joint staple, these yummy pods provide soy protein and fiber with little sugar or carbs -- a healthy swap when you're jonesing for something crunchy or salty, like chips.

Greek Lettuce Cups - Stir together 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked chicken breast, 1 tablespoon finely shredded carrots, 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Gently mix in 2 tablespoons low-fat or reduced-fat plain yogurt and 2 teaspoons snipped fresh mint or basil. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly onto 12 small Bibb lettuce leaves that you've torn from the inside of the lettuce head.
Hummus - Made from pureed chickpeas, hummus is an excellent dip for kids. It has an appealing nutty flavor, is thick enough not to be messy, and contains folate, vitamin B6, and iron. Serve hummus with cut-up vegetables or salt-free crackers for dipping, or use it to make a pita bread sandwich.
Custom Chips - When kids make their own tortilla chips, they get to pick the flavor and shape (and you can monitor the ingredients). Brush whole tortillas with melted butter blended with cheese, lemon, and herbs, or cinnamon sugar, then cut with a knife or cookie cutters. Once they're baked, package in snack-size bags.

Here's a great recipe if your kids like sushi. FYI, you'll need a sushi mat (bamboo is best) for this recipe and I'd recommend packing the soy sauce in small, airtight containers.
