Why limit snack-time to just one item? Prepare a colorful meat and cheese board FULL of your child's favorite snacks! Pick up their go-to fruits, veggies, meats, cheese, and crackers for this delicious after-school snack. You can make it as sophisticated or casual as you want... absolutely anything goes! 

Check out our simple, step-by-step guide to putting together the ultimate healthy charcuterie board your kids will love! 

Step 1: The Base 

Start with a large plate or board to display all of your food items. Grab a few small bowls for dips and loose foods. 

Step 2: Add Cheese 

Some would say this is the best part of the board... and they wouldn't be wrong! Our deli has several cubed and sliced cheese options to make prep even easier. 

Step 3: Add Meat 

Pick up their favorite meats, like sliced ham and turkey breast, from our deli. You can also add pepperoni and salami for some tasty variety. 

Step 4: Fruits & Veggies 

Encourage your picky eaters to try new fruits and veggies! Fill your boards with tasty and colorful options from our produce section. Add fruit and vegetable dips for a little extra flavor!
