Any good snack ideas for 6 year old kids?

Answer 1

peeled fruit...

Answer 2

My 6 year old loves yogurt & banana smoothies.

Other favorites:
Bagel pizzas - Just take a mini bagel, spaghetti or pizza sauce from a jar and sprinkle some cheese one it. Couple of minutes under the broiler or in the toaster oven and they're done.

Fruit pizzas - Spread some pre-made vanilla pudding on a sugar cookie. Add sliced strawberries, grapes, bananas, kiwi, blueberries, mandarin oranges... whatever fruit the kids will eat.

Answer 3

Cut up crisp vegetable sticks with dipping sauce - ranch, peanut (satay), sweet chili or tomato.

. Cut celery sticks 6-8 cm, fill with cottage cheese and top with sultanas or chopped nuts.

. Combine a mixture of low fat hard cheese cubes, nuts and dried fruits in plastic wrap or a lunch bag.

Roll up thin slices of carrot and celery with grated cheese in a slice of cold meat. Secure with toothpick. Slice the carrot and celery with a vegetable peeler for really thin slices.

Cut oranges into quarters and freeze on trays. Put into plastic bags for a fruity ice block.

. Mini quiches…. make a batch of crust-less quiche and cook in muffin tray. Each 'muffin' will be a wonderful healthy snack for kids.

Answer 4

It is hard to know isn't it. barring alergies peanut butter on celery is good. Rice pudding is easy to make up in advance and then mix in different flavors etc., It is a good idea to get them into veggies and away from sugar, but not easy. There are those nutrician bars but so expensive, quick and easy and without regard to nutrition and a sure success with the kid is those little snickers bars.

Answer 5

Of course you want them to snack healthy, so I would suggest a small fruit sampler. A little bit of their favorite fruits spread out on a plate and easy to eat. Or if they like it maybe yogurt. Even cereal can be a good snack, just as long as they don't overdo it.

Answer 6

Well, all kids love peanut butter and bananas, but you could try some other sweet spreads with other fruits.
Like, a chocolate/hazelnut spread called Nutella and Strawberries.
If you're looking for something a little less messy, try spreading it on a cracker.

Answer 7

Mac and cheese, Fig Newtons, Pudding, Jello, Fruit Snacks (like fun shapes and characters), Goldfish, Popcorn, Carrot sticks and ranch dressing, etc... :)

Answer 8

Lean protein such as sliced turkey breast rolled in 'tubes', or sliced chicken breast. Eat this with crackers, cheese, fruit, veggies and dip--like a party tray.

Fresh Corn on the cob

Chicken salad or tuna salad in celery boats

Penut butter and raisins in celery boats

Homemade trail mix--dried fruit and nuts.

Homemade oatmeal cookies (cut the sugar in the recipe by two-thirds)

Fruit of any kind.

Occasionally we put a little semi-sweet chocolate chips with a tablespoon of milk in the microwave for 'fondue' to eat with the fruit. This is a treat.

Veggies/breads with dips such as hummus.

Make Pureed fruit popscicles--they are a hit. Sometimes you can find popscicles at the store made from 100% fruit juice and no added sugar.

Fruit smoothies--made with frozen fruit and milk and occasionally protein powder. Let the kids come up with combinations of frozen fruit and milk.

I make one smoothie with a frozen banana, penutbutter, chocolate powder and protein powder (which is sweetend). I call it a penutbutter cup smoothie.

Tortilla chips (baked is better) and salsa or bean dip.

Home made fruit/oat bars. Recipes are on the internet and cut any sugar in half or by two thirds.

Peanut butter and crackers with milk.

Sandwich halfs. Grilled cheese, turkey and spinach is my kid's favorite.

Stay away from prepackaged foods--the fruit roll-ups, gummy sharks, granola bars, yoguart etc They contain tons of empty calories like food starch, corn syrup and sugar.


When my kids were little, I cleaned a shelf in the fridge and had plenty of healthy options for them and let them choose what to eat and when. They spent most of the day out doors and grabbed food when they were hungry. I made 'party trays' for them. It was important for me to have them 'self regulate' their appetite and eat mostly healthy food--nothing processed or prepackaged.

Answer 9

sandwich ideas

Sandwiches needn't be boring and you can experiment with lots of different fillings e.g. cream cheese with sliced fruit, tuna and sweetcorn mixed with reduced fat mayonnaise, chopped hard boiled egg with salad cream, peanut butter with jam, houmous with grapes – there are countless healthy options.

As with fillings, there are many different breads available as well as standard sliced. You can try mini finger rolls, pitta bread, bagels and wraps or give fruit or malt loaf, raisin and sunflower bread or hot cross buns as a change. Scones, crackers, rice cakes and breadsticks are also useful standbys for packed lunches and snacks.


fruit and vegetables

1. Include salad and vegetable sticks (e.g. carrots, cucumber, celery and peppers) in your child’s packed lunch.
2. Use fruit such as strawberries, bananas, raspberries and blackcurrants to make milkshakes and smoothies.
3. Add vegetables to soup, casseroles, shepherds pie, use as toppings for pizza and in pasta dishes.
4. Food such as sweetcorn, peppers, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, avocado and celery can be added to sandwich fillings.
5. Dried and ready-to-eat fruits such as raisins, apricots and prunes are a good addition to a packed lunch.
6. Add fruit to yogurt and breakfast cereals.
7. Serve vegetables imaginatively, for example as a face on a plate, to help encourage them to try different varieties.
8. Have fruit on hand as a snack when shopping, in the car, at the park, zoo or wherever!

Answer 10

Pigs in the blanket. Use hotdogs, cocktail wieners, vienna sausage. Wrap crescent rolls around them, can add cheese also then bake. Serve with mustard and ketchup. BBQ cocktail wienies. Grapes, apple slices and cheese. Jello.

Answer 11

My kids like sliced fruit frozen in a cup with a spoon.
