I don’t know about your kids but every afternoon after school it’s on, they are starving and if I don’t have some kind of food there ready it’s a nightmare. There’s so much junk out there marketed to kids and I really try to avoid all that, I’m the boring healthy Mum! Here are five healthy after-school snack ideas for your kids to try:
- Apple slices with almond butter: Apples are a tasty and nutritious snack that provides fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants. Pair them with almond butter for a boost of healthy fats and protein. Obviously, if your child had a nut allergy you would just skip the nut butter and try a nut-free alternative like sunflower butter made with seeds.
- Trail mix: Trail mix is a portable and satisfying snack that can be easily customized to fit your child’s preferences. Mix together a combination of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and whole-grain cereal for a tasty and healthy snack.
- Greek yogurt with berries: Greek yogurt is a good source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, making it a healthy option for after-school snacking. Top it with a handful of fresh berries for added flavour and nutrients.
- Whole wheat crackers with hummus: Whole wheat crackers provide complex carbohydrates and fibre, making them a satisfying and healthy snack. Pair them with hummus for a boost of protein and healthy fats.
- Smoothie: Smoothies are a delicious and convenient way to get a variety of nutrients in one snack. Blend together a mix of fruits, vegetables, and protein-rich ingredients, such as yogurt or milk, for a tasty and healthy after-school treat.
These are my kid’s fav healthy and tasty after-school snack options. By incorporating a variety of whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein-rich foods, you can provide your child with the energy and nutrients they need to support their growth and development. And the best part, you can snack on them too!!
