25 After School Snack Recipes! From apple donuts to energy bites to mini pizza bites, I’ve got you covered! You’re sure to find some great after school snack ideas for your kids and teens here! 

I’m a huge snacker. I try not to eat a lot in one sitting, even at meal time. I call it grazing . . maybe snacking sounds better?! Well, my kids are probably big snackers because of me. They see me snacking all the time. Rather than reach for that bag of chips, try one of my healthier snack options below.

I also have more substantial snacks for teens, or kids who play a lot of sports! Take a look at the list below and if you make anything, please let me know!
