Ideas for after-school club snacks that keep well in a bag

29 replies

My 5yo DD does after school clubs three times a week and I have to provide snacks for her in her school bag on those days.

Struggling a bit with what to send - crisps/choc etc not allowed and would probably avoid sending anyway. She will happily eat fruit and veg etc but given most of that would need to be cut up I feel like that will be a bit limp by the end of the day, especially in summer?

What are people sending in that will still be appetising at the end of the day?

You’re allowed nuts in school?

Plenty of UK schools allow nuts!

Savoury flapjacks are good for this.

My nephew’s school allows them but his Stagecoach and Blackheath Conservatoire don’t.

The tiny mini pizzas that are in the party food sections are good for these kind of snacks.

Ooh good shout. I collect my nephew on Mondays from school and take him via bus to music lesson so these are good ideas. He gets I’m sure snacks in after school club but nothing on the Monday unless his mum does it. As he likes crisps I got him Squares as they’re a lower calorie option. He also loves ripe nectarines.
