We eat a TON of fruit for snack, little milk and sometimes we have crackers of various kinds. I do have a habit of getting in a rut with the foods I serve. although the kids dont complain alot, I do try to change it up by asking the parents to sign up for snack once every month. I dont care what they provide it just has to be healthy. maybe you should do that so this Mom can have "more say" every once in a while!!! or learn to shut up! ha ha Just kidding. have you asked her what she wants her child to eat? does she think its too much carbs? whats her deal? I stick with less expensive options and healthy...apples sliced or diced for little ones, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, cheese and crackers.
