NEW YORK, May 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthy snacks for kids is the theme of Fidelis Care's latest Lunchology menu, released today on the health plan's social media channels and at fideliscare.org/lunchology. From crunchy granola bites to fruit-filled ice pops, the new menu features creative, fun, and easy-to-prepare snacks perfect for busy families on the go.

"Snacking is a part of life for every family.
