12 Healthy Snack Ideas for Kids
Send your kiddos back to school with a nutritious and delicious lunch box using these 12 healthy snack ideas for kids.

For me, one of the best parts about the back-to-school season is being able to re-establish a routine. Not just for myself, but especially for my kids.
A healthy diet is important to enforce early in children, and mindful snacking is no exception.
Almost all of these recipes have added protein whether it be Greek yogurt, protein powder, or collagen, and are certainly an excellent snack for the parents as well!
Bon appetit!
