Here are a few simple snack ideas that incorporate at least three food groups. These are perfect for fueling your kids' bodies and minds after a busy school day.

•  Apple Slices with Peanut Butter and Granola: Slice up an apple, spread a thin layer of peanut butter, and sprinkle with granola. This snack provides fiber, protein, and healthy fats, keeping kids full and satisfied. 
• Veggie Sticks with Hummus and Whole Grain Crackers:   Offer a mix of carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and bell pepper strips with a side of hummus and whole-grain crackers. This combo delivers vitamins, fiber, and protein. 
• Greek Yogurt with Mixed Berries and Nuts: A bowl of Greek yogurt topped with fresh berries and nuts is a perfect blend of protein, probiotics, and antioxidants. 
•  Cottage Cheese with Pineapple Chunks and Almonds: Mix cottage cheese with chunks of pineapple and sprinkle with slivered almonds. This combination provides a balance of carbs, protein, and healthy fats. 
• Banana and Nut Butter on Whole Grain Toast: Spread your child’s favorite nut butter on a slice of whole-grain toast and top with banana slices for a sweet and satisfying snack that’s full of fiber and protein.
