Quick Ways to Make Kids’ Snacks Healthier

Think Beyond Typical Snacks

Stock Your Fridge

As your kids get older they’ll be more apt to just grab their snacks. The best mom hack to encourage your older kids to grab healthier snacks is to keep the fridge stocked with options. Keep a supply of salad items, yogurts, and other healthy treats that they can grab quickly for snacks.

Remember the Pantry

Kids tend to peruse the pantry quite frequently and if you have one unhealthy snack option in there, they’ll find it! Stock your pantry with healthy snack options like whole wheat crackers, gluten-free cookies, and other smart snack choices that kids will be apt to grab and snack on.

What are some healthy snacks to make at home?

Some of the healthy snacks to make at home include:

  • Cheeseboard with whole wheat crackers.
  • Ham and cheese pretzel bites.
  • Ants on a log (celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins on them).
  • Homemade No-Bake Granola Bars

You can make many healthier snacks for kids ahead and cut them into portion sizes. Place the portion bags in the fridge or pantry so that your kids won’t have to do any extra work to eat their healthier after school snacks.

It’s easy to use our mom hacks to make kids’ snacks healthier, just sit down with your partner and make the decision of what you’re storing in the house from now on. This healthier snack decision must be made as a family, the last thing you want is your partner bringing home unhealthy snacks when you’re on this mission to get kids to snack healthier!
