We’ve been back in school for almost a month now. My kids have great teachers and are having an awesome year so far. There is one guarantee every day when they get home from school. They are famished! They raid the pantry and fridge like they haven’t eaten in 4 years every day. Anyone else have this problem? I gathered some delicious looking after school snacks to share with you. Some are make ahead, some you can make with your kids (because KIDS CAN COOK!) and some are on the spot. A little something for everyone.
As always, please click the link to go directly to the source of each recipe. Thanks!

Wow great ideas! We homeschool, but I’m always looking for new healthy snacks to have during the afternoon! I think my fav was the banana hotdog lol, never would have thought of that one!
Wendy says
Love these. We get frozen berries and add a tablespoon of yoghurt and blend – healthy and so yummy – like ice-cream.
