13 Healthy Homemade Snacks (perfect for kids lunch boxes)

  • Share on Facebook!

Are you including school lunches in your meal plan? You should be! I’ve been trying to buy fewer packaged snacks and wanted to share these homemade snacks for kids – they’ll love them in their lunch boxes!

If my five year old asks for one. more. snack. I’m going to lose my mind! We’ve actually re-named breakfast and lunch to sneakfast and snunch. Yes, snunch. Don’t even try and tell him it’s not a real word!

For some reason, he’ll eat a bagel for sneakfast, but not for breakfast. Whatever.

As long as he’s eating something healthy, I really don’t care what we call it!

That’s why I love these homemade snacks – they’re much more wholesome (and cheaper!) than any packaged snacks. I put them on my school lunch planner, and I’m good to go!

Is this a hack? I don’t know if it’s a hack. B Is this a hack? I don’t know if it’s a hack. But it’s definitely changed me from hating baking to *liking* baking. 

I actually find it 🎉 EASY 🎉 (if you knew how much I hated to bake you’d understand!)

Especially since I started sourdough. I can’t believe I waited so long because I thought it would be hard or time consuming! 

It has actually simplified cooking at home and you know me… I’m chasing simple!

Closing out your meal plan each week will save you Closing out your meal plan each week will save you time in the future, and it takes under a minute!

Plus it’s helpful if your week didn’t go according to plan and you didn’t end up making everything you intended!

Here’s what I do: 

✔️ Checkmark
Made it and we liked it
👉🏼 move on

❌ X it out
Didn’t make it but don’t have the ingredients anymore
👉🏼 move on

🌀 Circle it
Didn’t make it but have the ingredients 
👉🏼 put first on next week’s meal plan

⭐️ Star it
Made it and loved it, need to save recipe
👉🏼 add to your recipes

➖Cross it out
Made it and hated it
👉🏼 remove from master meal plan (and take note of why you hated it)

Save this for when - not if - your plan doesn’t go according to plan!
You don’t need to do it all! #dontdoitall #fam You don’t need to do it all!
