Parents often ask us what is both healthy and something kids will actually eat. These five ideas have worked.
The school snack box is one of every parent's daily challenges: something healthy, that holds up until noon, and most importantly, that the child actually eats and does not bring back untouched. Packaged biscuits and cakes seem like an easy fix, but their high sugar and low nutritional value lead to a drop in focus during the last hours of the school day.
Combinations based on peanut butter and sesame cream fill exactly that gap: flavors kids love paired with protein and healthy fats that keep energy steady through the end of the school day. Our customer parents have tried these five ideas many times, and the feedback is always the same: the box comes back empty.
Five tested ideas
- Crackers with peanut butter and raisins
- Apple slices with cocoa sesame cream
- Pita bread with tahini and cucumber
- Tortilla roll with peanut butter and banana
- Pitted dates with a little plain sesame cream
A few practical tips: toss apple slices with a few drops of lemon juice after cutting so they do not brown by noon; pack spreads in small sealed containers so bread does not get soggy and kids can combine at eating time; and do not forget a small water bottle. Letting children help choose tomorrow's combination works wonders too.
