6 (Easy) Snack Prep Ideas for Kids

Kids are always on the go, and having quick, nutritious snacks on hand can help keep their energy up while fueling their growth and development. I have found that setting aside some time on Sunday morning to prep some snacks for the week makes packing lunches for school much easier. I also like to prep on Fridays so there are easy to grab options for the weekend. I also love to include my kids in meal prep - these recipes are very simple for kids to help with/work on independently. These simple snacks are perfect for satisfying hunger between meals while offering a mix of healthy and fun options. Your kids will enjoy them, and they’re super easy to prepare!

Here are 6 easy homemade snacks that your kids will love

• Honey oat granola bars - I like this recipe

• Dehydrated apple rings - just slice and pop in dehydrator or air fryer

• Jello - this recipe is a hit

• Yoghurt drinks - see recipe below

• Chocolate veggie muffins - amazing recipe found here

• Banana bread - I've been making this one for years

Some other options that we have on heavy rotation: cut up fruit with yoghurt dip, cut up veggies with sour cream ranch dip, frozen yoghurt bark and hard boiled eggs.

Yoghurt Drinks: Blend together: 1 cup frozen fruit, 1 banana, 3/4 cup yoghurt (I like to use greek - if using regular yoghurt reduce the milk), 1 1/4 c milk, bit of vanilla
