5 Easy Snacks for Kids

August 28, 2020 Comments : 3

This post was sponsored by Hood as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. You can find my full disclosures HERE.

It is back to school time well, sort of. However back to school looks like for your kids we can all agree on one thing: our children will still require an immense amount of snacks. My kids snack all the time which means it is essential to have easy snacks for kids on hand. Bonus points if they are healthy.

It took me a while to figure out exactly which snacks my kids would love so I compiled a list here to make it easier on those parents who are looking for easy snack ideas.

5 Easy Snacks for Kids

Celery/Carrots/Bell peppers & Hummus

My kids love to dip veggies in hummus over and over again. I love that they are getting a healthy snack in.

Apples & Peanut Butter

Apple slices with peanut butter are an easy snack to go to in the afternoons when those kids need a little extra pick me up.

Yogurt & Fresh Fruit

Both my kids love yogurt. Throw some fresh fruit in it, mix it up and serve it. They will love it!

Cheese & Crackers

Another easy go to snack in our household is cheese and crackers. Easy to make and easy to eat. They can even eat it while they are reading or doing afternoon school work.

Milk

Something that both my kids love is milk and our go to is Hood milk. Not only can it be an easy snack for kids especially paired with granola bars (or on occasion cookies). It provides the nutrition that children need. Containing eight grams of protein and nine essential nutrients per serving as well a reliable source of calcium and Vitamin , my kids are getting what they need from a cold glass of Hood milk. It is also produced without artificial growth hormones and is tested for antibiotics and packaged in a LightBlock Bottle which means that the milk is coming to you as fresh as can be from the farm.

Knowing that my children are getting exactly what they need nutritionally and loving that snacks I provide them. makes this mama happy.

Pair it with just about any snack imaginable!

*No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rbST-treated and non-rbST-treated cows.
**FDA requires milk to be tested for certain antibiotics.

I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and disconn I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and disconnected lately. From my kids and from my husband. It’s made me feel like a terrible mom and partner. 
This pregnancy has been so hard on my body and mind and I have never felt more alone. Maybe because I’m just trying to out a smile on and be happy but most days I’m struggling. Pregnancy after loss is a constant state of anxiety. Filled with feelings of being scared to become too connected with this baby out of fear of something going wrong. 
But I’m trying and with every passing week my heart relaxes just a little bit more. So here’s to the final stretch, the third trimester and to all the other mamas out there struggling with similar feelings I’m sending you so much love. ❤️

I hate this world that my children are growing up I hate this world that my children are growing up in. My heart sinks a little every time I send them off to school or daycare, terrified that something out of my control will happen to them. I can control what they eat, what they watch, who they play with to an extent but I can’t control the unknown. And right now raising children feels a little like walking into the unknown. 

So where do we go from here?
How do we teach our children about kindness, forgiveness and trust when society these days is throwing the exact opposite in their faces? How do we raise children and make them feel safe in a world that feels so heavy? In the last 24 hours I’ve thought to myself, this could be my children and the pain that goes along with just that thought is not even comparable to the pain the families who sent their children off to school to never come home are feeling right now. The sad truth though is that the next time it could be my children, your children, our community, our schools that are effected by a tragedy like this. 
As a parent this is the most terrifying thought of all. 

 Holding my children a little tighter today and every day because this world is an unpredictable place and holding onto hope that change is coming. ❤️

I have absolutely zero desire to buy maternity clothes so seeing how long I can make what’s in my closet work for me. 
Thankful I get to live in dresses, shorts and bathing suits this summer but dreading being in my third trimester during the hottest months here in the Northeast. 
If your pregnant this summer let’s be friends!
