Some nights, with soccer in full swing again, the girls don’t get home until after 8:00 PM. We eat dinner before practice on these nights. After the activity, they will have a snack at home before going to bed and showering.
These are some of my favorite snacks that I make often. They are quick to prepare, healthy, and can be prepared ahead of time.
Combining several healthy foods will give your child the energy they need to get through those busy hours between dinner and school, or between practice sessions and bedtime.
Cheese and Crackers
You might think that cheese and crackers is boring. It’s true that a simple cheese and cracker slice is boring (but delicious), but here are a few ways to turn this snack into a powerhouse of energy!
Why not try cottage cheese and whole grain crackers instead of regular cheese and crackers? Kids love to dip. Try some toasted whole-wheat pitas as an alternative to the traditional cracker. You can toast the pitas ahead of time and serve them with spreadable cheese that has a herb flavor.
