I think it’s safe to say everyone is going back to school soon! So now the question becomes what to feed these hungry kids when they get home from a busy day at school….right moms? It can be a tough decision because it’s often really close to supper time. I know that if I let my kids have cookies or chips they will just eat and eat and then spoil their supper, but I feel good about offering one of these 10 Healthy After School Snacks.

These are all great snack ideas. I serve celery sticks with peanut butter, apple slices, or Whonu? Cookies.
Just in time for back to school shopping! going to have my daughter go through these to add things to our shopping list.
These are some great snack ideas. I really think kids need a snack before starting homework! They need a little blood sugar boost. Apples and pb are the best!
My daughter likes cottage cheese over a rice cake with some nuts on top. She also likes peanut butter and honey toast.
Love these ideas thank you so much!
Very healthy snacking options.
I like to give my kids something nutritious, though I want to make the healthy stuff as ‘palatable’ for them as possible. (There’s so much junk food they eat all the time anyways)
Glad to know there are more moms who rack their brains over it as well.:)
Let me add here for the benefit of readers that peanut butter, bananas and oatmeal are wonderful foods for building stamina as well. Need I add about the goodness of fruits and veggies.
Thank you, Wendy for sharing those wonderful snacking ideas!
I like to serve granola bites
We love hummus!! another snack idea my family love is line a pita with hummus throw in some lettuce, chopped cucumbers and peppers and top it off with Italian dressing and there you have a delicous hummus veggie pita!
The berry parfait are great!
” Graham Crackers with fruit spread. Combine a little of your favourite jam with some softened cream cheese. Spread on Graham Crackers.”
Sounds like a little cheesecake to me…YUM!
I never thought of it that way…but yes. YUM! 🙂
I love these recipes! I think my favorites are the bagel pizza and the smokey carrot hummus! I will definitely be doing those!
