Afterschool snacks should never be boring, tasteless or worse... empty of nutrition!  Young minds need nutrition to function and parents everywhere are glad to avoid hangry situations for their kiddos! In fact, there are endless ways to incorporate fun and healthy ingredients into your back-to-school eats. Check out these delicious recipes that are sure to please anyone's hungry after school taste buds. 

Ranch Seasoned Fried Brussel Sprouts

Ranch- seasoned anything is a win in my book! I love Brussel Sprouts any and all ways, but something about fried Brussel Sprouts just changes the game for me. This is the perfect crunchy, salty, flavor-packed snack. This is a perfect back-to-school treat that anyone will love and you can eat with your hands = double fun! 

 

Lime Coconut Artichoke Ice Pops

Not only is this a great sweet snack option, they are also packed with healthy nutrients. These are perfect for after-school snacking, especially if your kiddos bring their friends over. These Artichoke Ice pops are refreshing and are especially good after a long hot fall day!

 

Sweet Baby Broccoli Bruschetta 

These 2-bite sized baby broccoli bruschetta's are the perfect after-school snack. They are both nutritious and delicious and can be prepped ahead of time for a snack in less than five minutes! Win😉!

 

Fresh Spinach & Artichoke Dip

I think everyone can agree that Spinach & Artichoke dip is a family favorite! This is a snack that you can enjoy year-round, but it definitely hits the spot after a long day when you are in snacking mode. I love the prepare this in batches and freeze it for days that I am short on time and need a quick and delicious snack. Dip pita bread, rice crackers of celery & carrot sticks to name a few ideas to get you started.
