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.

“A beautiful day starts with a beautiful mindset “A beautiful day starts with a beautiful mindset” - unknown 
Read that again. 
No matter how crappy you think your day is going to be; wake up and set you mind to a more positive way of thinking. 
I can’t tell you how many times this thought process has gotten me through rough days at work, with the kids or even when I’m just feeling incredibly overwhelmed. 

Tell me how do you create a beautiful mindset?

Bonus: supporting my gut health as well with products that contain @epicorimmune. It’s a POSTbiotic. Haven’t heard of that before? So, PRObiotics in your gut eat fibers (PREbiotics) in order to make beneficial metabolites. Well, POSTbiotics contain those metabolites and delivers them directly to your gut.

Rainy day here today but this little corner of Ave Rainy day here today but this little corner of Avery’s bedroom looks so cozy. 

I’m so thankful to have passed on my love for reading to both my children and here are some of Avery’s favorite books on display. Beekle, Raz & Benz and Strictly no Elephants are Avery’s favs and we read them on repeat every night. I’ll link the books in my stories. 

What books do your kids love?

I couldn’t go another day without having this sw I couldn’t go another day without having this sweet photo of both my kids and myself on my feed. 

Getting photos with the kids is hard and the majority of the time I’m doing it by myself. 
I rely on my camera, tripod and timer to snap these shots and anyone who knows this method can relate to it taking many shots to get something resembling what your initial idea was. 
Pretty happy to have finally caught this one and not ashamed to admit there was some bribery involved.

Share your tips with getting photos with your kids in the comments!

Things I grabbed for Avery’s basket this year:
1. Chalk (Target dollar spot)
2. Sunglasses 
3. Water bottle 
4. Bubble wands
5. Socks (because what kid doesn’t love socks)
6. Plastic eggs with candy and coins 
7. Chocolate bunny 
8. Spring outfit

That’s it! Quick, easy and the total cost was minimal.

3 years ago, this little one came into this world 3 years ago, this little one came into this world in a whirlwind and has kept us guessing and on our toes ever since. 
She loves reading, hiking, riding her bike, jumping on and off a thing, playing with her siblings and friends and Paw Patrol. 
Happy birthday Avery; life is that much better and just a little crazier with you around and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Warmer springtime afternoons spent with this one i Warmer springtime afternoons spent with this one is nothing but pure joy with a little bit of caffeine thrown in to help keep me fueled. 

It is also the perfect time to pair your favorite @dunkin beverage with a snack. With options from Avocado Toast (my favorite), to a Grilled Cheese or Stuffed Croissant (Hayden’s favorite) or even a chocolate glazed donut (Avery’s favorite), there is something for everyone. And until April 27th, you can snag any size Cold Brew for just $3 with your Perks membership in Maine and Vermont. So, make sure to sign up today!!
So a big @dunkin cheers to warmer days, brighter flowers and spending more time outside with a coffee in one hand and a snack in the other. 

What are you looking forward to most about springtime?

I’ve had people ask me how I stay so organized; I’ve had people ask me how I stay so organized; how I manage kid’s schedules, work schedules, graduate school and blogging all at once.

Here’s the truth: I don’t. 

I am the least organized person you will meet. I have calendars everywhere and a planner filled with post it reminders and lists. The fact that we make it places on time, I get my school work done and meet deadlines for myself and brands is a small miracle with a little last minute panic thrown in when I remember something I forgot. 
So today I sat down. Updated my life and organized the next couple months so things feel a little bit calmer. Here’s to hoping this small bit of sanity continues. 

What do you do to keep you and your family organized?
