snack ideas

[stubbornasamule]

My DS and DD always request snack am and pm and until now I have mostly given them fruit, veg sticks with occasional treat of home made biscuits/cake. Recently DS has started complaining about "not fruit again"-although he loves fruit and eats plenty. Any ideas for appealing snacks that will satisfy my need to feel am giving something mostly healthy but will seem bit more exciring?

breadsticks, bits of cheese, pitta bread.

Pitta pizza?
Toast & split a wholemeal pitta bread. Spread with salsa, tomato puree or pasta sauce. Top with a little grated cheese and anything else like ham, sweetcorn etc & pop under grill to melt the cheese.
1 pitta could be shared between the two of them

bread sticks and humous

olives

oatcakes with cream cheese and apple

dried fruit: raisins, dates, apricots, prunes

crackers

crumpets

cubes of cheese

yoghurt and honey

icelollies amde with fruit juice

toast and marmite

nuts

trail mix

yoghurt coated raisins and peanuts

dried banana chips

dried apple rings

rice cakes

snack a jacks

bombay mix

some good ideas there thanks. Any more?

I second the yoghurt idea. Greek/soya with raisins and some nuts/granola.

Crackers with nut butter,

Cereal such as branflakes

Hummus and chopped up veg

Homemade cheese or fruit scones

Peanut cookies

Milkshake (powder and milk or icecream, fruit and milk)

Smoothies with frozen berries, banana, and yoghurt

Cup of hot soup (could use tinned or cartons, very quick and healthy)

Roast some chickpeas till crunchy, then sprinkle with some garlic salt

sausage rolls

mini scotch eggs

crisps

rivita

muffins

scotch pancakes with honey or jam

left-overs

samosas

spring rolls

mini wraps

jam tarts

Loads of ideas, thanks. Just seem to have been stuck in a rut

i give mine, bread sticks, yoghurts, dried fruit, fresh fruits, bioche? (sorry mite not be spelt right) banana bread, home made cup cakes, fruit smoothies, slice of toast with chopped banana, cereal bars.

pitta with honey and banana
pineapple and cheese sticks
plain yoghurt with slied fruit

Why not use cereal as a snack? I can eat weetabix at any time.

Mine have corn on the knob as snack (but maybe we are weird family )

Healthy flapjacks

4tbsp oil
6-7 tbsp honey
25g brown sugar

Heat and mix together the oil, honey, sugar and banana then add the oatmeal and nuts, mix well spread over greaseproof paper on a baking sheet and bake for approx 15mins gas mark 5....
