Life is busy, especially when you are a mum. In between all of the daily tasks and jobs that you need to do, you often also get lumped with the ‘mummmm I am hungry’ line. It’s easy to overcome these hungry pleas from your little ones with a little bit of pre-thought and these quick snacks.
I always carry a selection of quick snacks from the below with me, because you never know when hunger will strike. And we all know that hungry kids are often cranky kids.
– Fresh dates
Kids think they’re a sweet treat and they give them that little boost to keep on going during a busy day. Living in the Middle East you have a selection of the best dates in the world, find a variety that you and your kids love.
If your kids aren’t into dates, you can always get date-flavored cookies like Heinz Date Cookies
– Power Bars
Whether homemade our prepacked, power bars are great for energizing your little ones and helping them get through their day. If you don’t have the time to make them – which is OK -, try Kellogg’s Coco Pops Bars. Not they’re delicious, but they are filled with important nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D and fibers.
– Seeds, dried fruit and nuts
Make your own custom trail mix using your favorite seeds, mini crackers, nuts, and dried fruits. Or get Munchbox Energy Balls that come in various flavors like cranberry, banana, peanuts, oats, and coconuts.
Munchbox offers a wide variety of on-the-go snacks that are worth checking out!
– Organix – Rice Cakes
These rice cakes are a perfect snack for children with their miniature size, tasty flavor and perfect portioning. They are also perfect for your peace of mind, knowing that they are organic and filled with the best ingredients- with no added salt and nasties.
– Cookies or muffins
There are two options for cookies and muffins. Either make them at home, using a 15-minute recipe, or a quick no-bake one. The other option is to get them baked and ready.
– Something Fruity
Kids love a snack that they can just slurp. Try healthy and organic juice boxes, or packed fruit purees. It’s a treat you kids would love, and its a great source of vitamins and nutrients.
