    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!
