Healthy snacks for children: school lunchbox treats that are easy to prepare, nutritious and low in sugar
August 25, 2021 - 15:02 BST Chloe Best The end of August only means one thing – it's almost back to school time! While this year might be unlike any other, one thing you can control is what goes in your kids' lunchbox.Preparing exciting snacks doesn’t have to be difficult and you certainly can't go wrong with the basics.
Get inspired by our round-up of simple snacks that are not only nutritious but yummy too – the perfect fuel for any school day.Fruit and vegetables are essential lunchbox items, although it can sometimes be difficult to encourage fussy eaters to have their five a day.
Stacey Solomon knows this all too well and regularly gives her sons Rex, Leighton and Zachary the simple snack. Why not get creative like Stacey by making faces on the eggs, encouraging fussy eaters to tuck in! HEALTHIER TREATS: A small pot of sugar-free jelly is ideal for the occasional sweet treat, while malt loaf or fruited teacakes are a healthier alternative to cakes and cereal bars.
Alternatively, you could try making your own sweet potato crisps at home; simply thinly slice a sweet potato and roast in olive oil until crispy. This healthier, homemade crisp is free from salt and a rich source of vitamins A, C and potassium.
