Healthy Star Wars Snacks [Printables]

A long time ago in a kitchen far, far away...

Star Wars Day gives us a great excuse to pop in our favorite Star Wars movies and whip up some quick, themed snacks. However, Star Wars birthday parties, conventions and other events may have us in the mood for some galactic snacks, too! Snacks don't necessarily equal desserts either, so we're putting together a selection of healthy Star Wars recipes that involve a variety of fruits, vegetables and grains that can help with some of that movie snacking guilt. (There's still some chocolate and honey to get your picky kids to try something new!) These snacks feature characters from all over the galaxy, including Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Baby Yoda, and even Jabba the Hutt! You'll want to make sure to have a good variety of Star Wars snacks on hand at any event, lest we hear Darth Vader say, "I find your lack of snacks disturbing".
