Easy After School Snacks
These easy after school snacks are simple, nutrient-packed bites that will curb any afternoon appetite. None of these is super complicated, and we know that we didn’t invent the combo of fruit with tajin or PB & J. But hopefully, they inspire you to make some easy bites whenever you or your kids are feeling a little hungry in the afternoon. Make these as they are, or play around with different ingredient combinations. Each of these after school snack recipes serves 2 people. We suggest making one of these snacks at a time unless you’re serving a crowd, in which case, make them all!
