In an effort to make home the place kids can't wait to come home to, I need to put a little more into our after school snacks. Don't get me wrong, they aren't starving but snacks have been kinda ho hum around here lately.
We aren't big on sugary snacks, these kids are sweet enough already, but I might let it happen once in a while. On that note, not all of these are going to be as healthy as I would like. But they WILL be delicious!
Graham Cracker Sandwich w/marshmallow
Chocolate Dipped Ritz
Smoothies
Pina Colada~Frozen Pineapple, Coconut milk, Greek Yogurt, ice w/roasted coconut chips on top
PB Chocolate~We use PB2, yogurt, ice and chocolate almond milk
My FAVE ~Orange juice, Spinach, ice and some frozen strawberries
Ritz & Sunbutter sandwich
Pretzels and PB
Rainbow Fruit Cup
Frozen Grapes
Ants on a log
Cucumber and crackers
Pumpkin Muffins
Banana nut bread bars
Cream Cheese/veggie roll up
cream cheese/cinnamon roll up
PB Banana Mini Muffins
Cream Cheese/Strawberry Sandwich toasted
Apple Ham and Cheese toothpicks
Apple Cheddar quesadilla
Chocolate dipped frozen banana bites
Zucchini Bread
Those won't be an everyday thing. We will still have our usual snacks. We don't keep a lot of options on hand, that can get expensive and wasteful pretty quickly.
We pretty much always have
Popcorn
Fruit
Veggies
Cheese Sticks
Pretzels
Dried Fruit
Granola Bars
What are your favorite kid snacks? I am always looking for more ideas!

Frozen fruit, especially blueberry kebabs, are big around here!
ReplyDeleteThe boy likes trail mix so I usually toss together what I have (nuts, granola, raisins, pretzels, and butterscotch or mini choc chips...just a leeetle) and the girl likes granola and raisins separately. ;o)
Yogurt (Greek for the boy and reg for the girl), hummus (homemade!) and veggies, pita chips or pretzels, pickles (my kiddos go thru a jar a week...only home canned here, though!), cheese and crackers, fruit leather made in the dehydrator, chips and salsa (also home canned and also go thru like crazy!)...and probably more I'm forgetting, lol!
The chocolate dipped ritz looks like a yummy snack that my kiddos would enjoy! I try to do a lot of fruit type snacks or smoothies in my household. Thanks for sharing!
