15 Healthy Snacks for Kids
Lately, I’ve been running out of healthy snack ideas for our toddler. We’ve been in a rut when it comes to new recipes and she has been eating way too many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I decided to do a search and find some new and exciting snack ideas for our family. I came across so many awesome healthy ideas for kids that I needed to break them up into two sections. First I am sharing 15 snacks you can make ahead of time for your kids. Don’t overwhelm yourself and try to make all of them at once. My plan is to pick one recipe a week and test it out.

It’s always good to try some new recipes, maybe you will find a new family favorite! Although these snacks are aimed toward kids with their bite sized servings adults can certainly enjoy them too!

Well, I am saving this for sure! Always trying to come up with healthy stuff for the kiddo to wat and struggle with ideas!
yes, i feel like i am in a perpetual food rut, two kids 5 & 7 so the need for snacks doesnt go away! Im not super creative. the kids are good on fruit, but otherwise they have dry cereal or a bar for snack. plus my son has a dairy allergy in his class so no dairy snacks to school for him.
These are great healthy snacks for kids. I’ve always been searching for healthy snacks for my kids. Thanks for this awesome roundup.

Pinned! These sound so yummy and good for us (because I’m guaranteed to eat some of whatever my son is eating). Thanks for sharing!
This is such a helpful post! As a first time mom I need all the ideas I can get to feed my toddler 😀
Loved this and saved it to my pinterest! Thanks 🙂
This is a great list of snacks! And not just for the kids, but for me. 😉
Great ideas. In the coming year, my littles will be into more fun foods, so definitely need these!
Wonderful ideas! My toddler is so unpredictable. One day she loves blueberries the next she won’t eat them. It is great to have so many good suggestions to try. I am a Celiac, so she has to eat a lot of the same things.
There are so many that sound great! I will have to try some of these to get my 4-year-old to eat healthier. If it was up to her, she would live on Chocolate Poptarts and Cheetos.
These all look really yummy. I don’t have kids, but I’m saving these for me!
Yes! They are perfect for adults too 🙂
Hi Lauren! This is awesome! I have kids at home and I’m sure they will surely love all these, specially the granola bars! 🙂
