D
Plain popcorn, fresh fruit, raw vegetables, cheese, skim-milk pudding, and hot chocolate are ap-propriate after-school snacks.
Chocolate bars should be discouraged as a snack because they are high in fat and calories, low in nutrition, and cariogenic.
Thick milkshakes are high in fat and calories; better food choices are available for after-school snacks.
Potato chips should be discouraged as a snack because they are high in fat and low in nutritional value.
