My teen's favorite snack is...
Pickles, dill for my oldest teen and sweet for my middle teen daughter.
My teen enjoys this snack because...
My daughters have always enjoyed pickles, since they could chew. I'm not sure how it worked out that one liked one type and the other likes the other type of pickles - maybe my second daughter is just asserting some independence. Or, maybe she just like sweet things.
Advice
- In order to keep a jar of pickles in our house longer than 24-hours, I've enacted a rule of no snacking on them in between meals. We use them as a side dish at dinner and lunch instead.
- I've tried to switch it up with different cuts and types, but I've always made sure their favorite is available too.
How often does your teen enjoy their favorite snack?
Normally 3-4 times a week.
What was your favorite snack as a teen?
Popcorn and it still is my favorite snack.
