Between ballet lessons, soccer practice and PTA meetings, families are on the go more than ever these days. Keep up your kids' energy — and your own! — with these 10 speedy but good-for-you snacks:

1. Get 'em outta bed! You know what they say: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Start your family off right with fresh-from-the-oven Pillsbury^® Grands!^® cinnamon rolls. The smell of real Cinnabon^® cinnamon will get your kids jumping out of bed and running for the table.
   
   
2. Reach for smarter sweets. "All natural, no-added-sugar fruit treats are a great alternative to candy," says personal chef and registered dietician Diane Henderiks. Keep Fruit Roll-Ups^®, Fruit by the Foot^® or Simply Fruit fruit-flavored snacks on hand for occasional treats.
   
   
3. Mix up morning yogurt. Try a few healthy add-ins, like fresh or Cascadian Farm^® frozen berries, high-fiber cereals, Nature Valley^® Nut Clusters or trail mix.
   
   
4. Put your waffle iron to work. You can turn Grands!^® biscuits into waffles for kid-friendly sandwiches in no time at all!
   
   
5. Choose diet-friendly desserts. Put down the cupcakes and cookies, and pick up a low-fat, high-fiber mini muffin. Try Fiber One^® Muffin Mixes in banana nut, blueberry or apple cinnamon. Trust us, your kids won't miss the fat!
   
   
6. Create a mobile pantry. Keep a cooler or box stocked with quick snacks, like Nature Valley^® Granola Bars, Fruit Roll-Ups^® fruit-flavored snacks and Chex^® 100 Calorie Snack Mix.
   
   
7. Get your kids cookin'. Don't have much time? That's OK! Get the kids to help make colorful and delicious Polvorones Cookies – ready to eat in just 25 minutes!
   
   
8. Think outside the (lunch) box. Muffins, fruit and yogurt aren’t just for breakfast. "They make healthy, calorie-controlled lunches, too," says registered dietician Regan Jones.
   
   
9. Chill out. Give your kids a special spot in the fridge for easy access to snacks like cheese sticks, Go-Gurt^®, baby carrots and other veggies or juice boxes. "Don’t forget to keep some cold packs in the freezer so you can pack and go quickly," says professional organizer and mom Liz Jenkins.
   
   
10.  Have some ultra-fast recipes on hand. Feel the need for speed? Try a batch of Banana Nut Snack Bars, ready in just 15 minutes. It's a packable snack, great for lunches or a pick-me-up on the go.
