Healthy Snack Ideas for Preschoolers


Throughout the day, you may hear multiple times “I’m hungry”. When you hear those words, you want to give your little one a healthy snack that they will actually eat. Here are a few ideas for healthy fun snacks.

Fruit Skewer: Cut a variety of fruit into bite-sized pieces and add them to a fancy toothpick.

Dips: Select some vegetables that your child likes and a few that you want them to try. Dips can enhance the taste of bland vegetables. Try ranch, honey mustard, or thousand island.

Stuffed Celery: Fill the inside of celery stalks or cucumber slices with peanut butter or flavored cream cheese. Use two different veggies together for a mixed veggie treat.

Cheese: String cheese or cheese cubes and cheese slices are always an easy snack. Cheese quesadillas made with beans and fresh vegetable salsa can put a twist on s cheesy meal.

Yogurt: Make yogurt pops or smoothies with yogurt and fresh berries. Add granola, fresh berries, and yogurt.

Hummus: This is a tasty, healthy snack that is growing in popularity with kids. Serve hummus with vegetables, salt-free crackers, pretzels or even pita bread.

Spend time to experiment with different food choices with your child. It will be a great bonding experience and you can get some healthy snacks into their diet. If you child has food allergies be careful and consult your doctor before trying new foods.
