Do your kids come home after school starving? Usually snack time at school is in the morning and they don't eat anything else after lunch, so they are starving by the time they get home.
I try to have some after school snacks ready. I try to make sure these snacks are different than their school snacks, just to not get bored eating the same snack. So, let's brainstorm on some ideas for healthy snacking.
Fruit- juicy fruit that I don't send to school such as peaches, mangoes, or cherries
Fruit Smoothie- fresh or frozen fruit and no added sugar
Plain unsweetened yogurt with cottage cheese
Hard boiled eggs
Avocado toast
Peanut butter toast
Carrot sticks and hummus
Apples and peanut butter
Nuts- especially if they are prohibited at school due to food allergies
Happy snacking,
Angie
