Oh my goodness! Have I got some fantastic ideas for your little ones this summer! Let's dive right in and take a look at some of these healthy and creative snacks!

Summer Snacks for Kids

Who says that healthy food can't also be fun food? These summer snacks for kids are both nutritious and delicious! What's not to love?

1. Fruit Kebabs

Cut some of your favorite fruits - such as strawberries, pineapple, watermelon, kiwi, and grapes - into bite-sized pieces and put them on a stick for an easy and fun way to eat a healthy snack!

2. Rainbow Veggie Skewers

If your little ones aren't big fans of fruit, why not try some veggies instead? Cut up different colored veggies such as bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers and put them on skewers in a rainbow order. Your kids will love eating the colors of the rainbow!

3. Homemade Granola Bars

Granola bars can be a healthy and quick snack for busy days. You can make your own granola bars and have your kids help by choosing different flavors such as peanut butter, chocolate chips, or raisins to mix in. Making your own granola bars also means you can control the amount of sugar that goes into them!

Healthy Food Ideas for Children

It's important to make sure your children are eating a well-balanced diet. Here are some easy and healthy food ideas for children, to help ensure that they're getting all the nutrients they need!

1. Smoothie Bowls

If your kids are fans of smoothies, why not try a smoothie bowl? You can top them with fresh fruit, granola, or nuts to add some crunch. Smoothie bowls are a great way to get your kids to eat more fruits and vegetables.

2. Baked Chicken Nuggets

Instead of serving your kids store-bought chicken nuggets, try making your own! You can use lean chicken breast and bake them in the oven to make them healthier. You can also make a big batch and freeze them for a quick and easy meal later in the week.

3. Mini Pizzas

You can make mini pizzas at home using whole wheat pita bread or English muffins as the base. Let your kids choose their own toppings such as veggies, cheese, and lean meats. It's a healthier option than ordering pizza delivery and it's a lot more fun to make!
