After school snacks are very important part of meal for my kids and I find it hard to make healthy snacks with less oil and tasty snacks.They are so eager to know their snack right from the door step and sometimes I feel snacks are a good way to sneak in veggies and fruits in a pleasing way.Stuffed celery sticks is one such quick and easy snack that can be prepared in a jiffy and there is no cooking involved.My kids love the crunchy celery sticks(now a days) with the cream cheese mixed with dry fruits and nuts.Enjoy making this simple snack for your loved ones and enjoy !!

Ingredients
celery 1 bunch
walnuts chopped 3tbsp
cranberry chopped 3 tbsp
cream cheese 8 oz
sour cream/milk 2 tbsp
Method
- Wash the celery sticks under running water(I use organic celery sticks).Cut them in 2" long pieces(I tend to remove the thick fiber of the celery using a knife,you can leave out just like that too)and place on a plate.
- Mix the cream cheese with sour cream or milk(I used milk) until softens and becomes in a spreadable consistency.Add in chopped walnuts and toss the cranberries.
- Scoop out a table spoon of the mixture and spread on each celery sticks.Repeat the same for all sticks.Enjoy !!
