Directions Read the following passage. Then answer the questions below.
S
nacks can be good for you! A healthy
snack is easy to make from things
in the kitchen. Sometimes I just mix up
raisins and peanuts to make my own trail
mix. I like to add granola or fruit to a cup
of yogurt. My favorite snack is a piece of
cheese on a cracker.
Yesterday, I made my own happy
face snack. I got a cup of applesauce,
cinnamon, some raisins, and a rice
cake. I mixed a little cinnamon into the
applesauce. Then I spread it on the rice
cake and used the raisins to make a smiley
face. It looked cute and tasted delicious!
