I love all these ideas to keep things fun for school lunches. When I can, I prefer to package dry snacks for my kids in food-safe cotton bags that are washable. It makes me feel even better about their lunch!

Wow
Mouth watering. Those snacks seems too delicious. I can eat whole of them.
David Reams says
Thanks for the great snack ideas! One of our favorites are GG Bran Crisps with our own mixture of cinnamon and truvia. With only 12 cals per crisp bread it’s a fantastic healthy, low calorie, fiber filled snack! 🙂 Also love baby carrots with a little Spike seasoning sprinkled on them and also can’t forget cherry tomatoes (even better with some balsamic vinegar, pepper and a little salt).
Thanks again for sharing and look forward to hearing more ideas!

I have a picky eater and I got into a habit of offering her Carnation Instant Breakfast w/ a cup or cup and a half of milk for mixing. It has a ton of nutrients (I know there is sugar too, but the good outweighs the bad for us), she drinks it without complaint, and she is full afterward.

My kid never eats healthy food that I prepare. But now I am so happy, that she loves my cooking. It’s because of your recipe. Fruit cones and Chocolate banana became her favorite now. Thank you so much for these delicious snacks.
