As moms, we want our kids to have healthier options for snack time, and we all know out kids want fun snacks that taste great. Here we’ll give you some ideas that should fit both desires! Fun snacks and healthy snacks for kids.
- For a new twist on fruit, fill an ice cream cone with fresh fruit. It’s not only a fun way to eat it, but it’s easily take outside too!
- To add vitamins and a flavor boost to homemade Jell-O snacks, use fruit juice instead of water.
- Let kids make their own parfait. Give them small dishes of yogurt, fresh berries and granola, along with a glass or clear plastic cup so they can create layers.
- Frozen fruit is not only extra tasty, but it’s especially great on a hot day for a quick cool down!
- Most of us have likely seen or heard of frozen bananas dipped in chocolate. To make it a little more healthy, dip a peeled banana in yogurt and roll it in crushed cereal before freezing.
- Spread a little ricotta cheese on a graham cracker and top with your favorite jam. It’s tastes a little like cheesecake!
- Mix together peanut butter and cornflakes in a bowl. Shape into balls and roll in crushed graham crackers.
- Use a cookie cutter to make fun shapes out of cheese. For older kids you could make them into kababs.
- Turn animal crackers into little sandwich cookies with a bit of peanut butter spread between two of them.
- There are numerous recipes on the internet for homemade popsicles, many using fruit and yogurt. If you make some of these, try using a pretzel rod instead of a traditional popsicle stick.
Hopefully this gave you some new ideas to try. Happy snacking!
