🍎 Ditch Snack Packs for Homemade Treats!
Today’s Plastic-Free Challenge is tasty, fun, and good for the Earth. We’re saying goodbye to crinkly plastic snack packs and hello to homemade, no-packaging treats! 🎉
🧃 Why Skip Snack Packs?
Tiny plastic snack wrappers might seem harmless, but they pile up fast and end up in landfills, oceans, and even our parks. 😞 That’s a big problem for animals—and for our planet.
But guess what? You can be a snack-time superhero by making your own treats at home. It’s easy, yummy, and doesn’t need any plastic at all!
🥜 Trail Mix Party! (Kid-Approved & Totally Plastic-Free)
Mix up your own snack with your favorite ingredients!
Use a bowl or reusable container—no wrapper needed.
🌟 What You Need:
-
A handful of nuts (like almonds or cashews)
-
Some dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, banana chips)
-
A sprinkle of sunflower or pumpkin seeds
-
A few dark chocolate chips (because yum!)
👩🍳 Mix it all together and you’ve got the perfect trail mix to pack for school, a hike, or an afternoon adventure.
🍓 Fresh Fruit = Nature’s Snack!
You don’t need plastic when nature’s already got it covered!
Try:
-
A juicy apple 🍎
-
A bunch of grapes 🍇
-
Sliced watermelon 🍉
-
A banana (with its own built-in wrapper!) 🍌
🧺 Pack your fruits in a washable container or beeswax wrap and you’re good to go—no plastic trash in sight!
🌈 Snack Time = Planet Time
Every time you skip a plastic snack pack, you’re helping sea turtles, birds, and the whole Earth. 🌿
Plus, homemade snacks taste better (and you get to pick what goes in!).
So go ahead, ditch the plastic and dig into something delicious—TuTu and the Earth thank you! 🌎💖
