Looking for game day snacks that the whole crew will enjoy? Whether you’re whipping up small bites for your kids, friends, family or a significant other, these quick and easy options are sure to please and will even keep you fueled up for a little neighborhood pick up game at halftime.

Their Seussified names come from the latest edition of Dr. Seuss’s “Oh the THINGS You Can DO That Are GOOD For You!” which we helped update with new content, recipes and activity ideas.

Mrs. Buggles’s Tooty-Fruity Roll-Ups

A perfect mix of sweet and savory, these fruit-filled roll ups take less than five minutes to assemble. Banana and peanut butter are a personal favorite, but feel free to mix and match until you find your ideal combo. We have a feeling apple and almond butter would be pretty delicious as well.

What you’ll need:

• 2 (8-inch) whole grain flour tortillas
• 4 tablespoons nut, seed, or soy butter
• 1 piece fresh fruit, diced
• 2 tablespoons raisins
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

Spread each tortilla with two tablespoons nut butter. Top with half the fresh and half the dried fruit, distributing evenly across the tortilla. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Tightly roll up each of the tortillas, cut in half to make four portions – and enjoy!

¼ cup low-sodium pasta sauce
¼ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Eat in the Car Bars

Whether you eat ‘em in the car or in the living room, these no-bake bars will help keep energy levels high. Make a bunch and store them in the freezer for a quick fix.

What you’ll need:
2½ cups quick oats
1 cup sunflower seeds
½ cup raisins or dried cranberries
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup nut, seed, or soy butter
½ cup agave sweetener or honey

Directions:

1. Mix oats, seeds, dried fruit and cinnamon in a large bowl
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together nut butter and agave well. Add to oat mixture and combine. Mixture should be firm but sticky, with a consistency similar to oatmeal-raising cookie dough. If mixture is too dry, add additional nut butter in 1-tablesppon amounts until consistency is as described above.
3. Line an 8” x 8” baking dish with aluminum foil or wax paper and spread mixture evenly into dish. Cover with another layer of foil or wax paper and press hard into the dish, flattening the mixture. Refrigerate for about 4 hours, then cut into squares.
