When I include multiple items it also means less of each item so half a banana and 2 crackers compared to a whole banana and a handful of crackers. Yes the snack is just to take the edge off the hunger not take it totally away - I want lunch to do that. Mostly for me snack is about getting a drink as they play hard and need it. So it is a drink and a little something to go with it. It is also about snack not taking a large block of time since we have so little in the morning and don't want to waste it all sitting in the kitchen eating.
