It&#8217;s taken me several years, but I finally feel like I&#8217;ve got my snack arsenal locked and loaded with after school snack ideas that they&#8217;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&#8217;m hoping my years of parent training (ha!) will inspire your back to school snack cabinet with some of these better-for-them options.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>string cheese<\/li>\n<li>Cuties<\/li>\n<li>apple slices with peanut butter<\/li>\n<li>pretzel sticks<\/li>\n<li>grapes<\/li>\n<li>yogurt<\/li>\n<li>Z Bars<\/li>\n<li>fruit leather<\/li>\n<li>strawberries<\/li>\n<li>almonds<\/li>\n<li>applesauce<\/li>\n<li>fruit cups<\/li>\n<li>turkey slices<\/li>\n<li>cucumber slices with ranch<\/li>\n<li>raisins<\/li>\n<li>Babybel cheese<\/li>\n<li>pepperoni<\/li>\n<li>granola<\/li>\n<li>beef jerky<\/li>\n<li>bananas<\/li>\n<li>carrot sticks<\/li>\n<li>cantaloupe<\/li>\n<li>pickles<\/li>\n<li>raspberries<\/li>\n<li>kale chips<\/li>\n<li>celery sticks with peanut butter<\/li>\n<li>carrot sticks with ranch<\/li>\n<li>hard boiled eggs<\/li>\n<li>salami slices<\/li>\n<li>cheese crackers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This list of back to school snack ideas is full of options that I can feel good about my kids eating after school. They&#8217;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&#8217;m always on the hunt for options and ways to switch it up in my home.<\/p>\n<h3>For more back to school inspiration, ideas, recipes, and more, be sure to <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ourhollydays\">follow the Our Holly Days page on Facebook<\/a> where I share and update daily.<\/h3>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2017\/08\/17\/back-to-school-snack-ideas\/\">30 After School Snack Ideas (That Your Kids Will Actually Eat!)<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/\">Our Holly Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2017\/08\/17\/back-to-school-snack-ideas\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"30 After School Snack Ideas (That Your Kids Will Actually Eat!)\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Holly Sosa One of my back to school struggles has been trying to find snacks that my kids will actually eat and that I&#8217;m satisfied with (read: not potato chips).
