When you are working from home with the kids out of school, the time you have to make snacks, lunches, and dinners seems to be less while your family's hunger isn't. If you have some extra time in the morning before the work day starts or at the end of the day, it is the perfect time to get ahead on meals or snack planning.
As a mom it's important to make sure your family has the fuel they need to get through the day. Whether it's a pick-me-up snack, mid-morning bite to eat, or a midnight treat, these are eight snacks that everyone in your family will enjoy and will stay fresh all day long.
8 Apple Cinnamon Fruit Roll-Ups
Who doesn't love fruit roll-ups? You can actually make a healthier version of them from home. All you need for these roll-ups is assorted apples, water, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon. To set, they need to bake until they are dried out for about three to four hours. After that, they can sit on your kitchen counter, pantry, or refrigerator depending on your preference. Here is the recipe!
7 Fro-Yo Fruit Bites
These fro-yo fruit bites might have to stay in the freezer to last all day, but they will still taste amazing. Made simply in a normal ice cube tray, these bites make for the perfect breakfast or afternoon snack on a hot summer day. You can find the recipe and ingredients listed by Delish here, but don't be afraid to use your family's favorite yogurt or fruit so everyone loves it!
6 4-Ingredient Basic Guacamole
A great snack that can be left out all day (with the occasional refrigeration time) and will help expand your kid's palettes is guacamole! While most families have a go-to guacamole recipe on hand, this four-ingredient recipe from Pillsbury is great if you need to whip something up quick. All you need is avocados, lime juice, hot sauce and salt. You can find the recipe here.
5 Chocolate Trail Bites
Do you have a child who loves chocolate just as much as you do? These chocolate trail bites are just the thing you need to elevate that handful of chocolate chips you've been eyeing. All you need is dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries, sliced almonds, pistachios and shredded coconut. Prefer different nuts or berries? Feel free to switch them out! While you can follow the recipe here, don't hesitate to make it your own.
4 Homemade Granola Bars
Sometimes the granola/snack bars from the grocery store are filled with too many sugar alternatives. This Ina Garten recipe is filled with hearty ingredients like oatmeal, coconut shavings, dates, and apricots. Follow the recipe here. Ina advises you to let the bars cool for a couple hours before serving at room temperature. Keep these on a plate on your kitchen table and rest assured they all will be grabbed by the end of the day.
3 Trail Mix Bites
Trying to transition your kids into healthier snack instead of sweets? These trail mix bites are the perfect snack to help. Using Cheerios, raisins, salted sunflower nuts, brown sugar, butter, honey, and chocolate chips for the base, most of these ingredients can be swapped out over time for healthier (or sweeter) alternatives. One alternative to try is replacing craisins for the raisins for a slight change in taste. These last up to one week covered when stored at room temperature. Find out here how to make them!
2 Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Jam Cookie Bars
Most children will eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Why not make them into cookies? This recipe is only four ingredients and each one is delicious. From your local grocery store, you will need to get your favorite brand of refrigerated sugar cookie dough, creamy peanut butter, strawberry jam, and chocolate chips. The baked cookies can be served warm or completely cooled, making these perfect to snack on at any time of the day! Follow the recipe here.
1 Monster Cookie Granola Bites
This easy no-bake snack will absolutely become a family favorite. All you need is your favorite granola, creamy peanut butter, honey, candy-coated chocolate candies, salt, and pecans. If someone in your family has a peanut allergy, you can replace the peanut butter with no-nut butter, cookie butter or your favorite family alternative. You can also leave out the pecans if there are other nut allergies in your home.
This one-bowl snack is so easy to make you can get your kids to help you! Once they are firm and formed together, you can keep them in your fridge or on the counter in a closed container at room temperature. Find the recipe here.
