Snacking Tips

Use snacks as a little “island” to tide to next meal. Usually after school kids will need a substantial snack that includes some protein. Then try to avoid any snacking until dinner.

Any fruit or veggie—add on even a Tablespoon or 2 to increase F&V consumption or just increase your odds of a picky child eventually eating produce– Grapes (if child old enough), apples, Cuties, sliced pears, watermelon or other melon cubes, etc.

  • Apple + peanut butter
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Yogurt—Trader Joe’s, Dannon, Fage, etc (do not recommend Light yogurts)
  • Smoothie—frozen peaches/berries or any frozen or fresh fruit + plain yogurt or milk or soymilk + drizzle honey.
  • Triscuits + string cheese
  • Wheat thins or Ak Mak type cracker, peanut butter
  • Cucumber slices, orange slices, cheese stick
  • String cheese
  • Hummus + pita chips
  • Mini muffin (made or TJs)
  • ½ bagel + cream cheese + fruit
  • Banana
  • Graham cracker + yogurt
  • Raisins + peanuts
  • Mango + few spoonfuls yogurt
  • Whole grain Goldfish + string cheese
  • 1 graham cracker, slices banana, few peanuts
  • Natural applesauce
  • Natural “go-gurt” by Chobani Champions/Stonyfield Farms/Horizon
