After School with ALDI: New Year, New Snacks

This post is sponsored by ALDI; all opinions are my very own.

Hey y’all! the holiday season has come and gone (can you believe it!?) and I’m grateful to be here to serve YOU and rock 2022!

Not only did I make a few goals for myself as usual, but the Egwuatu family sat down and made some together for the first time.

If you google Top 5 New Year Resolutions you’ll typically find, “eat healthier”, “exercise more”, or, “get healthier” at the very top of each list. Can you relate?!  Family health is a priority for Sonny and I, and we do our best to consistently live healthy lives in front of our children. We hope and pray our example sticks!

Here are a few of our family goals for the new year:

➡️Limit fast food to 3-4 times per month (like once a week which is totes doable)

➡️Make your very best effort to say I love you, please, & thank you

➡️No texting and driving

➡️No tv or phones during dinner 

➡️Eat (try!) 1 healthier-for-you snack per week

Please leave us a comment with some of your goals, personal or as a family. We’d love to read them together! 

I enjoyed making after school snack boards all last Fall but this one is different in the best way❤️.  The kids took the lead and made it themselves using high-quality, affordable ingredients from ALDI!  

ALDI helps us easily embrace healthy living by providing such a wide variety of organic (yes, organic!) and better-for-you options.  They also helped me whip up two new dairy-free snacks for their board.

  Every snack board needs a yummy dip.  They all like guacamole, so I added some fiber (spinach) and protein (yogurt) to this savory Spinach & Avocado dip. 

I grabbed some Specially Selected Sea Salt Pita Chips and Simply Nature Blue Corn Tortilla Chips to dip into the guacamole with. I am always so impressed with the quality to price ratio at ALDI!  I check out satisfied, content, and proud that I am easily able to stay below my grocery budget time and time again.

Creamy goodness ☺️.

Next, a sweet, gluten-free treat full of whole grain oats! PB & J sammiches are also favorites around here, so these bars really hit home.  Kosi is allergic to peanuts, so I used sunflower seed butter; peanut butter works just fine. 

After the snacks were ready, it was finally time to assemble the board!

I said, “GO!” and they dove in immediately…at the same time, lol. 

I shop ALDI all year round; it’s my destination for healthy, budget-friendly items for our growing family of six. That Dego has a big appetite and keeps me in the kitchen all by himself most days though!!

  Wishing you all lots of high-fives, fist bumps and fun experiences with your kiddos this year!  Watch their creativity soar while making their own snack board(s) filled with better-for-you everyday products from ALDI!
