HOMEMADE, easy, simple, quick healthy snacks for children…. during lockdown the children have been eating non stop!! Honestly, I am running out of food, the problem is they are getting bored with their normal snacks, but they want instant food! So I thought let’s all make some healthy snacks together, double up with them enjoying an activity but also the end result is some yummy, healthy snacks! And it has worked a treat! They are excited to eat the snacks because they helped make them! The only problem we didn’t quite make enough to last 5 children more than a few days!! So we are going to have to make it in bulk next time!
Top Tip Snack 1 – Fruit Ice Lollies – Literally just get any fruit you have, chop into small cubes, blend them, choose which flavours to mix – keep it simple esp – and then pour the mixture into the icy lolly mould and put into the freezer
Top Tip Snack 2 – Oat bars – mash up some ripe bananas, mix in some porridge oats, add some maple syrup/honey and cinnamon – or in our case whatever you have in the cupboard! Then put onto a baking tray, make them quite flat so they cook evenly, and into any shape you like (we went for cookie shapes but next time we are doing bars!), put into a pre-heated oven for 15 – 20 mins on 180 degrees!
Top Tip Snack 3 – Apple Slice ‘Cookies’ – slice up an apple, spread peanut butter on them, add chocolate chips, nuts, coconut sprinkles – anything you want really – the topping is up to you – you could add cheese spread, chocolate spread – anything that spreads… then add blueberries or strawberries or chocolate to the top! Great fun to make and also everyone can choose their own toppings!
