August 17, 2016 Amy 2 Comments

Do your kids come running home after school and greet you with “What’s for snack?” Mine do. It seems like they have not eaten all day.  I am here to help you tame the after school hunger monster with a few good for you snack ideas. These will help fight off even toughest monsters out there.

Easy Homemade Trail Mix

I love this quick and easy snack idea using Lärabar Chocolate Macaroons. Get a few items out you know your kids love. I like nuts, cereal and Lärabar Chocolate Macaroons. I use a 1/4 cup and let them pick their favorites.  We make a few of these bags for after school snacks to grab and go. Everyone has their favorite, since they made it themselves.

Snack Station

It is so easy to create a little snack station for kids. Put a few snacks you approve for them to eat. This was they can just grab and go whenever you are not around. You can feel good about the choices you have provided for them to eat.

Yogurt Parfait

Layer some fruit and yogurt for a fun yogurt parfait. I layered some blueberries on the bottom, a layer of yogurt, a layer of Chocolate Macaroon Larabar and topped it with almond and Chocolate Macaroon Lärabar bites.

Lärabars

We all love Lärabars and these make a great snack anytime. Perfect for little hands to hold and eat. I picked up an assorted box of Cashew Cookie, Apple pie and Peanut Butter cookie at my Sam’s store.  Their Original Fruit & Nut Food Bars are made with only a few, recognizable ingredients, are minimally processed, and GMO free. This is why I love Lärabars for my family.

Chocolate Macaroons Bites

These taste amazing and can be added to many other snacks to make them taste better. We all tried them and love them. I love how these can be packed as a little treat in lunches or bring some to game practices. I found these at my Sam’s store.

Healthy Back to school Snacks for kids

At Lärabar®, they believe that the foundation of a sound mind, body and spirit is derived from what you eat – and what you eat is most delicious and satisfying when it’s in a whole, natural state. I do too.

They believe that it doesn’t matter who you are, everyone deserves to eat great food. They are passionate about creating delicious, convenient snacks that are made from just a few, simple ingredients for everyone to enjoy.

What are your favorite after school snacks for kids?

    Love the yogurt parfait idea. My son loves having fresh cut fruit and cheese for snack after school/camp so no complaints from this mom!
