Snack time can be a battle, not because my kids are asking for a million different things (they know that what mom says we're having for snack is what we're having), but because I struggle to come up with something that isn't the clean up equivalent of another meal. SO, for the sake of keeping my kitchen relatively untouched, we have a simple rotation of afternoon snacks. In case you're looking for ideas for your kids, or for yourself, here you go!
apple or banana slices to dip in peanut butter or hazelnut spread (strawberries are also delicious)
veggies and hummus
smoothies (add some green for a little something extra)
popcorn
nuts and raisins
rice cakes
pretzels and chocolate chips
cheese sticks
muffins
hardboiled eggs
any fruit you can poke with a toothpick :)
yogurt and granola
homemade granola bars
homemade larabars
Having a list of options is always helpful to me when it comes to meal planning or snack planning. Hopefully it's helpful for you too!
