Will you tell me your best savoury snacks please?

[EffYouSeeKaye]

...for after school?

I may be relying too heavily on biscuits Fruit is mostly a non-starter. So, quick & easy alternatives, anyone? Pretty please?

Cheese and crackers, crumpets, boiled eggs.

Those philly breadstick packs

cheese and crackers

crisps

Sun dried tomatoes
Pickled gherkins
Pepparami

Rice cakes or Corn cakes with Houmus
Flavoured rice cakes (eg. Snack-a-Jack's)
Cheddar thins biscuits
Cheese twists (sometimes homemade, sometimes shop bought)

And lots more less healthy options....

I do find that bringing tea forward helps with the ravenous raiding of the kitchen after school.

Great suggestions, thank you. We can’t really eat much before 6/6.30pm most nights (unless the kids eat separately to the adults but I’m not keen on that unless unavoidable) so a decent snack is a necessity usually.

Mini pitta bread
Cocktail sausages and ketchup dip
Heinz beans snap pot
Mini wrap and hummus
Guacamole and tortilla chips
Toast and marmite/tuna paste
Nuts and seeds
Falafel
Salted popcorn
Veggie crisps

Tesco now sell Ella’s Kitchen mini frittatas (on offer at the moment).

Crumpets!

Cheese & crackers

Wrap with chicken and salad

Popcorn

Peanut butter on toast/ crackers/ oatcakes/ etc
Cheese as above
Boiled eggs
Almonds, cashews etc
Crudités with dips

If we're eating later I sometimes do them a little picky plate with carrot batons, cucumber slices, grated cheese, some sort of dip, and oatcakes/ toasted pitta pieces/ breadsticks. It's filling and savoury, gives enough energy to get them through swimming/ trampolining and on to dinner time.

Most of the above, and more recently Scotch Eggs or just hard Boiled eggs that I made earlier and are in the fridge. Also cheese and crackers, cheese or ham sandwich /toasted sandwich/ cheese on toast. He also has tonnes of fruit with the above.

Can you tell I have a small child who is going through a growth spurt and is hungry all the time??

Cinnamon and raison bagels!

God I’m staving now Why did I ever bother with biscuits? All of these sound amazing.

Apple and peanut butter are a hit here. Also celery with peanut butter and raisins in (although that mainly gets licked).

Rice cakes and cream cheese.

Lump of cheese with tomato.

Peanut butter crackers.

We do:
Cheese sticks
Oatcakes
Little hummus snap pots
Philadelphia dippers
PB ( and sometimes J) sandwich
The odd cold sausage

Plus a piece of fruit.

I don't snack (not sanctimonious just never got into the habit due to years of food poverty) but since I have been earning a little more and can afford the odd 'luxury' I like thinly spread anchovy paste on buttered toast with a bit of pepper on. A tube lasts for ever and is really cheap in my local 'world food shop'.
