Healthy Kids Snack Recipes Even Picky Eaters Might Eat

 



If moms (and dads) were asked what keeps them the busiest every day when it comes to their kids, my guess is keeping the kiddos fed. 

Just try counting how many times a day you hear "Mom, I'm HUNGRY!"

So there really can never be too many snack recipes for kids. Especially if we want to find healthy snacks to make for kids, especially fun recipes for kids who are picky eaters.

My kids love to search and destroy the pantry in their quest for snacks. They are both in high school now, and can I just mention that finding so-called popular teenage snacks that they approve of is not for the faint of heart?

On a side note: Am I a bad mom because I roll my eyes every time I hear the pantry door and refrigerator doors open and close repeatedly (like they are hoping that each time they check that new snacks will have miraculously appeared??)

And while I do confess to having too many store-bought snacks in our house, I also try to come up with healthy filling snacks to make at home for the boys as well. You know, to help balance out snacking just a bit.



1. Broccoli Cheese Cups 

 


The Lazy Dish



 What is better than super easy finger-food snacks you make in a muffin pan? All you need to make these savory filling snacks are spinach, egg, cheese, and crackers. And a muffin pan. These cheesy broccoli cups make a good after-school snack for teens and for hungry kids of all ages who just need a little something extra to munch on while they wait for dinner.

2. Frozen Berry Granola Yogurt Bark




Baby Foode.com



Even picky eaters will love this fun snack recipe for Frozen Yogurt Bark. It is quick to make using granola, honey, yogurt, and mixed berries. Let it chill in the freezer a bit, and then let the kids enjoy this easy and healthy frozen treat.  This makes a protein-packed snack for kids of all ages to enjoy any time of the day, and would also make a yummy go-to breakfast idea that even picky eaters would eat.





3. Banana Fruit Kabobs



Our Family of Seven


Cut up some of your kids' favorite fruits and dip the fruit pieces in melted chocolate for a quick healthy treat. Kabobs make these chocolatey fruit snacks even more fun to eat!!






4. Chocolate Zucchini Muffins  






Moist decadent chocolate chip zucchini muffins are a surprisingly low sugar snack for kids of all ages (yes, grown-up kids too!!)

 No one really needs to know about the zucchini though - even my high schoolers do not know they are eating a sweet treat that is has a secret vegetable ingredient in it!





5. Rhubarb Twists



Mike Garten/Woman's Day


Homemade Rhubarb Twists are delicious, healthy, and fun to eat. Make a batch for a healthy after-school treat for kids, and make extra twists for busy school mornings (grab and go breakfast are a must some days!)

(Just don't tell your kids that rhubarb is a vegetable😋)
