We’ve had to do a lot of adjusting in the 2014-2015 school year. Emma’s in full-day kindergarten now which means that every day I have to pack her a lunch and a snack. It’s a daily struggle to find something that is both nutritious and edible in the eyes of my six year old. I want to win at snack time but it’s only a win if your child will eat it.
Both of my children are snackers, and of course they gravitate toward the junk food as kids do. Thankfully my children do enjoy eating fresh fruits, and I find that the more I offer it up as an idea, the more they ask for it so you can win at snack time by simply suggesting a healthy alternative.
Sometimes we need to have something fruity on hand with a longer shelf life. I like to keep Mott’s fruit snacks in my diaper bag and glove box for when the kids just have to have a snack and we’re on the go. Mott’s Fruity Centers and Mott’s Fruity Rolls are brand new products and the latest addition to our arsenal.
Whether packing school lunches in the morning or providing snacks for after-school activities, new Mott’s Fruity Rolls and Mott’s Fruity Centers are easy wins for mom. These new snacks fun for kids and made with the colors and flavors from natural sources that moms will also love.
These mini banana-oat bran muffins are a hit in my house and an excellent healthy snack that my kids love. They are very low in sugar so they rely on sweet bananas and raisins to give them that sweet flavor.
My cereal snack mix is another great option when the kids want something crunchy. I love that it’s packed with good for you cereal.
Ants on a log is another fun snack and it’s also packed with protein for getting over the after school slump. Kids love the idea of eating “ants”. That’s a win for everybody.
We serve lemon garlic hummus with fresh veggies, pita, or healthy chips. It’s loaded with protein and fiber and it’s one of our favorite healthy delicious dips.
Banana oatmeal muffins are amazing, they are one of my favorite things to have in the morning!
These are all snacks I like, too! I guess my favorite would be the cereal snack mix because I tend to crave something salty. Yum!
These are great ideas. I like the pretzel mix idea the best.
Those are great snack suggestions. I love the banana bread one. Looks delicious
Ooo those banana oat bran muffins yes please! I could definitely enjoy a snack time with those! x
Ants on a log are our favorite. My son can’t have most grains so finding a good healthy snack for him can be hard. Ants on a log is our go-to snack.
Hummus is one of my favorite healthy snack ideas. You can dip all sorts of healthy veggies if you don’t want to use chips.
Lemon Garlic Hummus, what? I’ve never had hummus but do want to try it and this one sounds so different.
Frozen grapes are our favorite go to snack. Either that or carrots :)
My kids love snacking on guacamole and carrots. Ants on a log is another favorite around here too.
Oh we love guac too! Avocado is so good!
