Smart Snacking: 6 Lip-Smacking After School Snacks

It’s that time of the year again. Time to coordinate everyone’s schedules, make sure homework gets done and get everyone to bed at a decent time on school nights. It can be difficult to establish a new routine, including creating healthy habits for after-school snacking. 

We have lots of satisfying after-school snacks ideas to tide the kids over until dinner. Most are easy enough that even your little learners can throw them together – maybe with just a little help for the young ones.

Here are our 6 favorite after-school snack recipes:

1. Frozen Pineapple Pops: What could be easier! Just like the name suggests, this recipe 
   uses a lollipop stick to freeze rings of pineapple into a sweet and juicy popsicle.
   
   Refreshing, fun and healthy! Find the recipe here. 
   
   
2. Nutella and Fruit Bites: A little (or big!) smear of Nutella and a few pieces of your favorite fruit piled on top of Sea Salt Riceworks make this a crave-worthy snack for all ages. To. Die. For. Find the recipe here.
   
   
3. Apple Sandwiches: There’s something about an unconventional sandwich that increases the fun! Try slicing an apple into a ring, load on some almond or peanut butter and granola then top with another apple ring. It makes the cutest snack! Find the recipe here.
