After School Milk and Cookies

After School Milk and CookiesIt’s crazy to say, but my kids start school in less than a month! One of the things I tried hard to accomplish last year was having healthy snacks available for the kids when they got home from school. After a full day of learning, and playing with friends my kids were always hungry. I had fresh, cut fruit and veggies, pretzel mixes, and granola ready for them but this year I want to bring back the traditional snack of milk and cookies!

A few days ago I shared a recipe for 3 Ingredient Oatmeal Banana Cookies, and I think they would be perfect for an after school snack! These cookies are so easy to make and are great for those with food allergies, or intolerances. All you have to do is mix oatmeal with ripe bananas and your mix-in of choice, then bake! A few mix-in ideas are raisins, nuts, chocolate chips, or dried cranberries. The cookies are dairy free, vegan, and can be gluten-free if you use GF oats. They would also be a yummy treat to add to your kids’ school lunches! Just remember when you make these cookies to choose mix-ins that won’t melt. I’ve sent homemade chocolate chips cookies to school in the past and they ended up a big melted mess!

To complete this healthy snack, be sure to pour your kids a tall glass of a2 Milk®. Those who experience tummy troubles or post-dairy digestive discomfort may enjoy a2 Milk® without any symptoms.  The A1 protein is the culprit behind many people’s discomfort after consuming dairy, and currently in all conventional & organic milks on the U.S. market. a2 Milk® only comes from specially selected a2 cows, whose milk is naturally free of the A1 protein. a2 Milk® paired with my Oatmeal Banana Cookies is a perfect snack for those who experience digestive discomfort!

I purchased my  a2 Milk®, as well as my cookie ingredients, at a local Ralph’s. a2 Milk® is available in Whole, 2% Reduced Fat, and 0% Fat-Free.
