Kid-Friendly Snack Idea's

Fruit Kabobs: Thread chunks of fresh fruit onto skewers for a colorful and nutritious snack. You can use a variety of fruits like grapes, strawberries, melon, and pineapple.

Veggie Sticks with Dip: Cut up vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers into sticks and serve them with a tasty dip such as hummus, ranch dressing, or yogurt-based dip.

Cheese and Crackers: Provide a selection of cheese cubes or slices with whole-grain crackers. You can also add some cherry tomatoes or cucumber slices for added freshness.

Yogurt Parfait: Layer yogurt, granola, and fresh berries in a cup or bowl to create a delicious and nutritious snack. You can also add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor.

Mini Sandwiches: Make bite-sized sandwiches using whole-grain bread, sliced cheese, and lean meats like turkey or chicken. Cut them into fun shapes with cookie cutters for added appeal.

Ants on a Log: Spread peanut butter or cream cheese into celery sticks and top with raisins or dried cranberries. It's a classic snack that kids often enjoy.

Trail Mix: Create a custom trail mix by combining a variety of nuts, dried fruits, and whole-grain cereal or pretzel pieces. You can even add a few chocolate chips for a sweet touch.

Smoothies: Blend together a combination of fruits, yogurt, and a splash of milk to create a refreshing and nutritious smoothie. You can even sneak in some spinach or kale for added vitamins.

Apple Slices with Nut Butter: Slice apples into rounds and spread nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter) on top. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon or granola for extra flavor and crunch.

Homemade Popcorn: Air-pop some popcorn and season it with a sprinkle of salt or a mix of herbs and spices. It's a healthier alternative to store-bought microwave popcorn.

Remember to consider any allergies or dietary restrictions when preparing snacks for children.
