25 healthy snacks for kids to make and eat!
Snack time is a great opportunity for getting more fruit and veg into your child’s diet. Sometimes, that’s easier said than done, but if you dress it up a little, kids will be more interested in it. Let’s be honest, anything with a face on it is just pretty darn adorable!

Take the cucumber cups filled with hummus and carrot and celery sticks for dipping;  with it jazzed a little, kids will want to get in there and dip into that hummus. The banana pop is a delicious banana segment on a stick that’s dipped in Greek yoghurt and then rolled in granola.Healthy snacks for kids!

Kids might think it’s a super treat without realising just how healthy it is for them. Don’t be surprised if your children start asking for these healthy snacks more than sweets or biscuits (well, maybe!) 🙂
