Quick and Easy Snacks For Kids

cin on July 14th, 2008

In the interest of time today, I figured I would share some quick, easy, and healthy snacks for your kids. Of course, because Cin is trying the vegetarian thing, I will include snacks for that too!

I found this awesome article at Family Fun Magazine, and I think it’s full of great recipes! Check the article out here. In the mean time, here are some of my favorite recipes from the article, and I really think the kids will think the snacks are a hit, too!

Artic Oranges

Take 4 oranges.  Cut the tops off of them to give them a zig zag look.  Scoop out the seeds, fill with orange juice and a cherry.  Freeze for a few hours.  Let sit for about 5 minutes before serving.  Frozen, Healthy fun!

Ants on a Log

You need celery, peanut butter, and raisins for this one.  Wash and dry your celery.  Fill the center with peanut butter, and top with raisins.

Mini Cracker Sandwiches

Take some small sized crackers, some sandwich meat, and cheese.  Make sandwiches out of the crackers, meat, and cheese.  Serve with apple slices,  and cream cheese dip, or carrot slices and ranch dip.

Share your favorite kid snack recipes with all of us below.

  2. These are great ideas - you’ve made me hungry!

  3. I’ll have to try Ants on a Log with my little girl. I have a feeling she’s going to love it! :)

    I read this and had to go make some right away! It reminded me of the original Lunchables before they started getting all the cool stuff like Tacos, and Pizza.

    Thanks for stopping by the blog!

    Like I told Jake, I had to go make some snacks right away. Writing the blog made me hungry too. I have resolved to no longer write about food on an empty stomach.

    Thanks for stopping by the blog!

    Let me know what she thinks. I hate raisins, and celery, but I love some Ants on a Log! Therefore, I think everyone does. :) Thanks for stopping by!

  7. I have a feeling she’s going to love it!

  8. Oh, I just remembered what my favorite snack was!
    Baked apple filled with sour cream + sugar + cinnamon. You take big green apple (sour is better), cut out the middle (without cutting THROUGH though), mix sour cream and sugar, pour it into and powder with cinnamon… Bake in the oven until ready:)

  9. That was a good read. BAGGY BAGS sounds like a lot of fun :)
