As a parent, you know how important it is to provide your child with healthy snacks throughout the day. However, coming up with new and creative snack ideas can be a challenge, especially when you’re busy with work and family responsibilities. That’s why we’ve put together a list of 10 easy, healthy preschooler-approved snacks that are sure to please even the pickiest eaters!
Ants on a Log
Cut celery into bite-sized pieces and spread peanut butter or almond butter on each piece. Add a line of raisins on top of the peanut butter, and you have a delicious, crunchy snack that’s packed with protein and fiber.
Fruit Kebabs
Cut up your child’s favorite fruits (such as strawberries, kiwi, and pineapple) into bite-sized pieces and thread them onto a skewer. This snack is not only healthy and refreshing, but it’s also fun to eat!
Hummus and Veggies
Cut up carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces and serve with a side of hummus. Hummus is a great source of protein and fiber, and the veggies add a refreshing crunch.
Yogurt Parfait
Layer Greek yogurt with berries and granola in a clear cup or jar. This snack is not only healthy and delicious, but it also looks pretty and fun to eat!
Apple “Cookies”
Slice an apple into thin rounds and spread almond butter on each slice. Sprinkle with toppings like raisins, granola, or shredded coconut. This snack is a fun twist on traditional apple slices, and the almond butter adds healthy fats and protein.
Frozen Grapes
Wash and freeze grapes for a refreshing, icy snack that’s perfect for hot summer days. Grapes are also a great source of antioxidants and vitamins.
Trail Mix
Mix together nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and whole-grain cereal for a satisfying snack that’s perfect for on-the-go. Just be sure to watch the portion sizes, as trail mix can be calorie-dense.
Banana “Ice Cream”
Blend frozen bananas in a food processor until they resemble a creamy, soft-serve texture. Add toppings like chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Slice sweet potatoes into thin strips and bake in the oven with a bit of olive oil and seasoning. Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamins and fiber, and this snack is a healthy alternative to traditional French fries.
Peanut Butter Energy Balls
Mix together peanut butter, oats, honey, and chocolate chips to make energy balls that are perfect for a midday snack.
