After School Snacks (Easy & Healthy)

After a long day at school, a solid and tasty snack can help your child reset and have energy for the evening activities ahead. We’ve rounded up 15+ healthy-ish after school snacks that are easy to make. Better yet, spend time making these together with your children!

Bonus: Several of these can be prepped ahead, frozen, and sent in lunchboxes too.

15+ After School Snacks

If I had to choose three from this list, I’d suggest starting with some that are easy to prep in bulk, like the Pizza Muffins, Powerball Cookies, and Chocolate Banana Muffins.

If you want snacks that the kids can make themselves, then go for Fruit Pizza Roll-Ups, Make Ahead Yogurt Parfaits, or the Cinnamon Tortilla Roll-Ups.

Or stock up on our freezer smoothie packs for after school snacks. We featured two of our favorites in the list below.

1

Fruit Pizza Roll-Ups

Healthy fruit pizza roll ups are a kid favorite! Top them with your favorite fruit, roll them up, and drizzle some honey on top. Delicious!
