  • Granola Bars, yeeeaaaah! any child would be THRILLED to get some of those!
  • Instead of Butterfingers, PeanutButter Celery Sticks! 
  • Swipe some Powdered Energy Drink Mixes instead of hot choc. mix
  • Spicy Roasted Soy Beans!!! woot-woot!
  • Sugar Free Gum
  • Fruit/Apple Sauce Cups
  • Cheese and Cracker Packs, or better yet Cheese Sticks (no more Tootsie Rolls!)
