Little Cooking or No Cooking Snack Ideas
Snacks can be simple things and when I have a snack attack, these are some of the first things I reach for.
Veggies and hummus – Portion out snack sizes for even easier snacking.
Fruit- Apples, pears, bananas, strawberries, cherries, grapes, mangoes, anything you can think of! Mix them into a smoothie with some oat milk or eat them fresh. Fruit was always a free snack when I was growing up.
Square of dark chocolate – Okay, kids probably won’t reach for this one, but you need a snack too!
Easy to Make After School Snack Ideas
1. Granola Bars (gluten free + nut free + vegan + top 8 free)
Easy no-bake granola bars are so delicious! Make them at the beginning of the week and you have the perfect grab-and-go snack all week long.
2. Fruit Dip (gluten free + nut free + egg free + soy free + vegan option)
Getting fresh fruit for a snack is made even sweeter with a spoonful of this creamy dip! Made with only 3 ingredients, this one is another make ahead snack for the entire week.
3. Crispy Roasted Chickpeas (gluten free + vegan + top 8 free)
Crispy, crunchy, and full of protein, these roasted chickpeas are a perfect mid-afternoon snack! Think of them like a swap for a handful of nuts, except these are even healthier with high protein and low fat. Customize them to your favorite flavor combos – I love making mine savory with homemade ranch flavor or sweet with cinnamon!

The perfect grab-and-go food! Make your morning routine run more smoothly by making these muffins for the entire week. Sweet, light, and fluffy, these muffins are a great addition to the morning or a late night snack.
