At Baby Smiles Labels, we want to make parenting easier – simple as that. And while we hope our waterproof labels make it easier for you to keep track of your little ones’ odds and ends, we know that there are many more tough aspects to parenting – like hungry kids! Any parent knows how much children can crave an afterschool snack once they get home, and those cravings are often fixated on sugary candy or junk food. That’s why for this blog, we’re going to list five easy, healthy, and delicious afterschool snacks your kids are sure to love.
Spicy Stuffed Celery: This is an easy redesign of ants on a log that’ll delight your little ones. Simply mix together low fat cream cheese and salsa to taste, then spread the mixture onto celery sticks. You can top it with olives, raisins, cracker bits, or anything else your kids love!
Pinwheel Sandwiches: While they may seem on the fancy side, these high-protein, filling snacks are actually easy to make. Simply top whole-wheat wraps with your favorite deli meat and cheese, sprinkle in chopped veggies, roll it up, slice, and serve! This is perfect for satiating hungry kids after sports practice.
Quick Mini-Pizza: A healthy alternative to pizza! Spread tomato sauce onto a whole wheat English muffin, top with mozzarella cheese, then stick it in the toaster oven or microwave – you can even dress it up with herbs like oregano and garlic.
Yogurt Parfait: In a parfait glass, layer your favorite low-fat yogurt with your favorite fruits. Top it with granola and have your kids dig in!
Kid Kabob: Cut your favorite low-fat cheese into cubes and skewer them on sticks with halved grapes or another favorite fruit. Easy, healthy, and fun to eat!
