Easy Snack Recipes for Your Kid’s Baon!
Make sure your children’s baon is cool for school! Here are easy snack recipes to learn, straight from the Prime Mom Club!
Pizza Pandesal
Honestly, who doesn’t like pizza? For a truly Filipino rendition of this classic Italian dish, use pandesal as your pizza crust! It’s easier to find one in local bakeries, and definitely more nutritious than frozen, pre-packed pizza dough. For children who cringe at the sight of chunky veggies, a pro tip would be to cut the vegetables into tiny pieces. Pick your child’s favorite meat and vegetable toppings, and top it all off with Mega Prime Pieces and Stems Mushrooms! Check out this recipe and create your own homemade snack pizza any day!
Ingredients
4 big pan de sal, sliced in two, crosswise, and toasted
Pizza Sauce

- ¼ can Mega Prime Pieces and Stems Mushrooms (or as needed)

- On each slice, top with mushrooms, ham, cheese, and other ingredients you may prefer.
- Place the bread in an oven toaster two at a time and bake until cheese melts. Serve hot.
Nacho Chips with Hummus
Pack healthy snacks for your teenager’s study sessions that suit their adolescent taste buds! Instead of letting them snack on junk food, pack them unsalted nacho chips with a special dip: hummus! This dip is made from cooked and mashed chickpeas (locally known as garbanzos), blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, garlic, and other spices. This easy hummus recipe is popular in Middle Eastern cuisine, and would certainly be a great snack to try for adventurous foodie teenagers. Use Mega Prime Garbanzos for high quality chickpeas!

- 1⁄4 cup olive oil, plus more for serving

- Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika before serving.
