They\u2019re always so hungry! And, since I don\u2019t believe in doing homework on an empty stomach, the first thing I do is provide them with a satisfying after school snack. As a Together Counts\u2122 Ambassador I also believe that we are what we eat and I like to make sure our snacks are a healthy balance of \u00a0\u201cfun\u201d and \u201cgood for you\u201d \u2013 something the kids and I can both be excited about eating. \u00a0Here are three of our favorite after school snack choices that give them enough energy to get through homework and some active play when it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Sweet Fall Treat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This caramel apple snack is a big hit with my kids (and me \u2013 I\u2019m not too old to indulge)! Simply slice an apple and pour a smidge of caramel dipping sauce for a sweet treat. I add a healthy chewy baked caramel apple bar as well. Since our family has food allergies, I look for the kinds of bars that are free of the eight major allergens, but there are plenty of good brands and flavors of this type of bar out there \u2013 and my kiddos love them!<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Crunch Buffet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a really fun after-school snack that doubles as a party appetizer (not kidding)! My kids love salsa and hummus and something crunchy to dip in it. Whether it\u2019s baby carrots, pretzels, or crackers \u2013 it\u2019s always a hit. This is a pretty big snack for after school, so I don\u2019t usually serve all of this at one time, but there are so many options to mix and match, this snack can be served multiple ways and never gets old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheese That Will Please<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t love cheese? I am happy to say I\u2019ve instilled my love of cheese in my kiddos. Mine like a little crunch with their cheese, so in addition to the goodness of a mozzarella cheese stick, I\u2019ll add a few cheese crackers or some cracklebread with a layer of cream cheese to their afternoon snack. Crunchy, cheesy, protein-y, for the win!<\/p>\n<p>Hungry yet? I\u2019m already looking forward to the kids coming home from school myself!
