10 Kid Friendly Healthy Afterschool Snacks

By Stacey Freeman 2 Comments

Kid friendly, healthy and homemade after-school snacks

My kids aren’t in school yet, but my toddler son already loves snacks. He especially loves those animal-shaped crackery snacks. Even the the whole grain organic versions I buy are still more processed than I’d like and his snack selection is seriously lacking at this point. He will eat most fruits, an occasional string cheese, dry cereal, and yogurt. Most of the time, the crackers win the snack selection battle.

I wanted to find healthier options, so I searched for less-processed homemade recipes. I rounded up 10 kid friendly healthy afterschool snacks that I would definitely serve my kids. All of these snacks seem simple to make, nutritious, and foods most kids would enjoy. I can’t wait to try making these snacks to see if I can get my picky son to enjoy these rather than those snack crackers.

What snacks do you give your kids afterschool? Do you have any homemade favorites I missed?

#throwback to exactly one year ago...the very begi #throwback to exactly one year ago...the very beginning rumblings of this thing called corona virus. @terrimchugh and @fabeveryday flew into LA for the first ever @thetravelmom weekend in Huntington Beach. We were all so excited. And we had the absolute most amazing weekend. Little did we know the world would shut down a week later. But I’m so beyond grateful for that weekend because it created a bond with these women that has carried me through this past year. Without these dear friends, I’m not sure how I would have coped so well. Thank you @thetravelmom for bringing us all together - counting down the days till we can do it again!

March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, and I can’t believe we are at the one year mark of this quarantine life. I honestly miss dressing up for work, like this, so lately I’ve been dressing up in my living room for my zoom work calls.

Honestly, it’s so nice to feel some normalcy, even if there’s no need to be quite so dressed up. The way you dress definitely affects the way you feel, and this monochromatic look makes me feel happy and ready for spring.

Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energ Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energy that you can’t even describe - it’s that powerful. That’s @meaghanbmurphy ⚡️⚡️.

I met Meaghan two years ago at the @beachesresorts SMOTS conference and I was drawn to her positivity, radiant energy, and could totally relate to her “working mom who wants to have it all” mentality.
.
The older I get, the more I realize that the people you surround yourself with matters so much. If your Instagram friends or real life friends aren’t helping you to be the best version of yourself, then you might need new friends.

Meaghan continues to inspire me with her new book “Your Fully Charged Life.” If you’re looking for a fun and smart read to help you take back control of your life on your journey to being your best self, this book is for you! You can get yours on Amazon, at Barnes and Nobel, or other book retailers near you. Congrats Meaghan! ⚡️⚡️

As a new, exciting, and fun kid’s cereal option to infuse joy into my kid’s breakfast routine, I brought home Dunkaroos and @Pokémon cereals. I wish I could describe their reaction when they saw the new cereal. It was like it was Christmas morning all over again - pure excitement and joy.
