Healthy after school snacks should be more fun other than a fruit salad, crackers or veggie sticks. I don’t know about your kids but my kids come home starving when they get home from school it seems. I want my kids to come home to a after school snack they look forward to. Something that will fill them up through working on their homework and keep them from scrounging in the kitchen until dinner is ready.
Kids are funny though, they will usually go for the cookies or sweets {really, who can blame them}. I found with my kids if you jazz up a healthier alternative even if it is fruit or a healthier sweet dessert they are sure to dig right in no questions asked.
Back to school season is here so I have compiled 25 healthy after school snacks you will feel good about feeding to your kids this school year.

All those snacks look very tempting to me. I know I would have grabbed at any one of them when I was a kid.
