Snacks

What do you give your kids for...
Lunch snack?
School snack?
After school snack?

Snacks

I don’t give a lunch snack—just sandwich and fruit. Maybe on occasion a cookie for Friday/special day. For others I’ll do:
Cut fruit or veggies
Pretzels/crackers
Cheese sticks
Yogurt
Granola bar

Snacks

its SO SO hard when it has to be peanut free, too. ( I mean, i get it, but i feel like i end up sending the same stuff because i know its "school safe".
they like strawberries or grapes, cut up cheese, rice krispie treats, goldfish, those apple chip things, granola bars (but they can only eat those in the cafeteria at lunch, not in the classroom during snack time...) They like that SmartFood cheddar popcorn....

after school is basically the same thing- some cut up fruit, and some chips or something. They also like the Costco trail mix, too that has the nuts and a few M&Ms in it. My older son also like Grahm Crackers with some peanut butter on them, too

Re: Snacks

For school and lunch snacks it's one of the following:

Apple slices (the one that come pre cut in the individual bags)

Goldfish

Kids Cliff Bar

Cheese stick


After school she likes to have either goldfish, some ice cream, or some chips like Dorritos, a yogurt, another cheese stick or sometimes cookies

Snacks

My 1st grader takes a kid's cliff bar every day for snack. In her lunch she gets just gets fruit and sometimes pretzels. After school they don't snack much but if they do it's fruit, pretzels, tortilla chips, dry cereal, or cheese sticks.

Snacks

I send a bag of snacks weekly so she can choose each day. I try not to send anything refrigerated. She gets applesauce, pretzels, veggie straws, goldfish, graham crackers, cereal bar, those bel vita cookie packs, ritz cheese crackers, fruit snacks. It’s a carb fest.

Snacks

Lunch and classroom snacks: fruit/veggie (strawberries, apples, blueberries, grapes, carrots, cucumbers), cheese stick, cut up cheese w/ crackers, pretzels, goldfish, cheez its, graham crackers, granola bar, clif kids bar, dried apple chips or yogurt. On Fridays, she gets a treat like pringles, pirates booty, or doritos and a cookie.

We don’t really do after school snacks because we eat dinner on the early side.

Snacks

One kid - school snack is apples or strawberries, lunch snack is applesauce.

Other kid - school snack is goldfish, booty, ritz bits, granola bars or those hands-snacks and lunch snack is cookies.

Snacks

Do you guys separate the lunch and school snacks? My child just started buying his lunch (ugh) so i have no idea what he actually eats in the cafeteria. I wind up sending in applesauce, pretzles/goldfish/cheese its or something like that and sometimes a cookie or something fun. I sometimes do yogurt sticks (frozen) or string cheese.

Yes, I separate snacks.

Re: Snacks

For lunch at school, he usually gets a piece of fruit. Today I sent pretzels with hummus. Sometimes a cheese stick and sometimes a tube of yogurt.

For snack at school in the afternoon he gets a pouch of apple sauce, fruit snacks, the Brookside Chocolate covered blueberries or a granola bar.

After school he'll eat all sorts of crap. Hence the healthier things at school. LOL

My girl loves her cheese. I also don't send anything that needs to be refrigerated for school snack because it won't stay good. I don't always send a lunch snack, just extra food basically. and after school snacks are endless.

Snacks

Yogurt, dry cereal, pretzels, cheese, rolled up cold cuts, turkey pepperoni, goldfish, fruit, veggies, squeeze pouches, PB (or cream cheese) and Jelly half sandwich

I try to limit “bad” snacks at school since he eats so much garbage at home. Lol

Re: Snacks

Gogurt (freeze so it stays cold and if still frozen, it’s like ice bar)
Popcorn bag (skinny pop from Costco)
Dole fruit cups
Goldfish crackers
Granola bars (nut free)
Carrot sticks
Grapes
Blueberries
Cherry tomatoes
Apples
Banana
Pears
Clementines
Rice crispy treats
Welch’s fruit snacks (very rarely as my dentist hates them)
Pretzels
Whole grain chips
Everything bagel pretzels
Cheese sticks/Babybell cheeses

I rotate stuff so that they get sick of it and then miss it
The only one who doesn’t get carrots or grapes is the 3 year old because I have to cut it and I don’t like doing things in the AM!

Snacks

So where are all the parents that send in chips or fruit snacks/?? My child is always complaining to me that everyone else gets those and he gets stuck with applesauce, fruit and cheese. Lately ive been letting him have a small bag of cookies, animal crackers, or chips in addition to the good stuff. So glad school is ending!!!

Re: Snacks

Snacks

school snacks: Stonyfield smoothie or yogurt squeeze tube
fruit
cheese stick
crackers or skinnypop

Lunch snack: Always chips or pretzels

They're thin as rails but literally this is what I pack every day. My one DD refuses to eat a cheese stick unless it's the yellow and white swirly kind, so she doesn't get it every day (insert eye-roll) and she would also take beef bologna every day if I let her.
The other one eats like a dude, and she's a stick God Bless her
