One of my back to school struggles has been trying to find snacks that my kids will actually eat and that I’m satisfied with (read: not potato chips). It’s taken me several years, but I finally feel like I’ve got my snack arsenal locked and loaded with after school snack ideas that they’ll actually enjoy (my kids steer very clear of hummus and pita chips). I grocery shop once a week and usually buy two savory items and two sweet items from this. These are snacks my kids love to munch on and I usually will never tell them no when they ask for something on this list. I’m hoping my years of parent training (ha!) will inspire your back to school snack cabinet with some of these better-for-them options.
- string cheese
- Cuties
- apple slices with peanut butter
- pretzel sticks
- grapes
- yogurt
- Z Bars
- fruit leather
- strawberries
- almonds
- applesauce
- fruit cups
- turkey slices
- cucumber slices with ranch
- raisins
- Babybel cheese
- pepperoni
- granola
- beef jerky
- bananas
- carrot sticks
- cantaloupe
- pickles
- raspberries
- kale chips
- celery sticks with peanut butter
- carrot sticks with ranch
- hard boiled eggs
- salami slices
- cheese crackers
This list of back to school snack ideas is full of options that I can feel good about my kids eating after school. They’re thoughtful options that I know will fuel their brains without spoiling their dinnertime appetites. What are some ideas that you use with your kiddos? I’m always on the hunt for options and ways to switch it up in my home.
