I’ve got my meal planning game down to a science now for dinners, but one of the hardest parts of feeding my kiddos is coming up with a variety of healthy snacks!

Can you relate??

If your kids are like mine, they probably ask for a little somethin’ between meals. (Maybe even more than once, right?)

And when I satisfy their rumbling tummies, I also want to nourish their growing bodies.

That’s why I reach for one of these healthy snacks. They love them, I love them — it’s a win-win!

If you’re looking for ideas for healthy snacks your kids will love, check out this list!

25 Healthy Snacks For Kids


  1. Energy Balls (also called energy bites)
  2. Apple “cookies” — slice a cored apple (here’s the corer I use) horizontally, spread peanut butter, and top with raisins, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, coconut, or any other kind of topping you want
  3. Ants on a log — celery spread with peanut butter and topped with raisins
  4. Whole grain muffins — I HIGHLY recommend these magical muffin pans!
  5. Trail mix — cheaper (and most likely healthier) if you make it yourself by tossing together whatever you have on hand: nuts, dried fruit, dark chocolate bits, etc.
  6. Smoothies
  7. 3-ingredient popsicles — popsicle molds like this one are a great summer investment!
  8. Veggies with hummus
  9. Air-popped popcorn
  10. Natural fruit leathers — you can buy them or make your own!
  11. Whole wheat pretzels
  12. Homemade granola — here is my FAVORITE super easy granola recipe that uses all real ingredients!
  13. Homemade “Larabars”
  14. Fresh fruits & veggies — if your kids are a bit resistant, try cutting them into sticks, creating fun shapes, or making fruit kabobs – for some reason that makes it 10x more fun!
  15. Nuts
  16. Banana oat cookies
  17. Plain whole-fat yogurt — sweetened with a bit of honey (add homemade granola and fruit for a parfait!)
  18. Hard-boiled egg — here is the easiest way to make hard-boiled eggs perfectly every time!
  19. Oatmeal — here are 9 easy and healthy ways to make oatmeal!
  20. Cheese slices or cubes
  21. Veggie “chips” — here are good step-by-step instructions for making your own healthy veggie chips
  22. Bell peppers with guacamole
  23. Whole grain crackers — with nut butters, cheese, hummus, or other healthy spread
  24. Peanut Butter Banana snacks — like these amazing chocolate peanut butter banana bites
  25. Natural applesauce — here’s how to make homemade applesauce the easy way!
