50+ Healthy Kids Snack Ideas

A Round up of over 50 Healthy Snack Ideas for kids (and adults).  From muffins and granola bars to wraps and fun fruit and vegetable ideas, this list has lots of healthy snacks for everyone.

I think most moms would agree that not only is feeding kids is a nonstop job, but being solely responsible for your child’s diet is a huge responsibility.   Feeding your kids healthy snacks is a great way of leading them toward a healthy future.  It’s so important to me to provide my kids with quality, healthy foods, and not just empty calories.

This list of snacks is great for adults and kids alike!  My husband loves taking healthy snacks to work and I love having something healthy to snack on while I am home with the kids.  Whether you need an on-the-go snack or fast easy ideas for snacking around the house, this list has something for everyone!

The Best Healthy Snacks on the List:

• Oatmeal Peanut Butter Energy Bites
• Skinny Banana Bread Muffins
• Tomato Basil
• Mozzarella Toasts
• Power Muffins
• No-Bake Granola Bars
• Ham and Cheese Pretzel Bites
• Overnight Oats
• Ham and Cheese Pretzel Bites

This roundup up of easy, fun and healthy kids snack ideas includes some I ate as a kid, and lots that I feed my kids regularly. The perfect round-up for summertime, and after school snack ideas for kids (and adults too)!
