I’m always looking for fresh, delicious + healthy choices to add to our afterschool and lunch box snacks. These four ideas meet both savory and sweet palates. I recently found this pumpkin granola recipe on one of my favorite food blogs. It is A-mazing! {if granola is your thing} Since you all know how much I love my greek yogurt, you can image how happy a new crunch makes me!
I was inspired one day by these Energy Bites from Chef in Training. I tweaked the recipe a bit to make a healthier super-sized version and came up with the yummiest little nuggets of protein. My kids started calling them Energy Balls instead of Energy Bites.
Homemade Fruit Leather turned out to be so simple! I did have to keep my oven on for an incredibly long time, but these were sweet and tart and healthy. I used frozen mixed berries in place of the peach used here
Blend the berries.
Spread evenly on the Silpat.
Peel + Roll
Guacamole is quite possibly my favorite food on the planet! All you really need is a ripe avocado, some salt and a lime {or lemon}. The kids can make this themselves it’s so simple. If you want a little more punch add cilantro, tomato + jalapeño. Serve with corn tortillas chips.

What are you family’s favorite snacks these days?
