Do your kids come straight in from school wanting to eat? Some days I wonder if they were fed at all during the day. Nonetheless, the routine is to come in, drop their bags, and then straight to the the kitchen. The problem I find is often making sure they grab a healthy snack as they sit down to work on homework or play with their sister. The last thing I need is more sugar feeding their already energy-filled little bodies.
Therefore, I compiled a group of recipes from a couple of blogger friends and found some healthier options for them. Check out some of the snacks for kids I found below.
Healthy Homemade After School Snacks
- Oatmeal Date Bars
- Peach Turnovers
- Chocolate Chip and Almond Flax Cookies
- Honey Oat Quick Bread
- Easy Banana Muffins
- Banana Nut Cheerios Energy Bars
What snacks have you discovered that your kids enjoy? Do you make your snacks or are they all store-bought? I have a mixture of both on hand when possible. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with so many kids coming and going through my kitchen though.
Did you know October 15-19, 2012 is National School Lunch Week? Perhaps you can add one of these healthy snacks to your child’s school lunch as well!
Enjoy your snack time!

Thank you so much for sharing my oatmeal date bars and honey bread. We absolutely love them…esp straight out from the oven.
going to try the Oatmeal Date Bars, I try to keep fresh apples and cut up veggies.. if we are on the go, I keep boxes of raisins
Those look great!! Thanks for visiting my blog! I’ll have to try these…they are a completely different version than mine
