After School Snacks Can be Healthy and Easy

When your kids get home from school you can bet they’ll be starving. Most primary grade students eat their lunch well before the noon hour so by the time they come through the front door, they’re very hungry!

After school snack time offers an opportunity to teach your children about healthy food choices. They could plow through a bag of chips or cookies and they’d feel full. But with just a tiny bit of planning and some smart shopping, you can keep healthy snack options available to your kids for after school.
