My preschoolers come home from school at 3 o’clock. They’re usually very hungry, but I don’t serve dinner till 5. I try preparing something in advance like cut up vegetables or fruits, but they seem to have gotten bored of eating fruits and veggies every day. Anyone had any other ideas of healthy snacks? Something I can prepare in advance. I come home with my kids from work.

Cheese, yogurt, pretzels in pb or apple slices in pb or hummus. Basically anything with a little bit of protein to tide them over till dinner time

I like this idea. Do you just blend Greek yogurt and strawberries?

I often prepare Smoothies for my kids for when they come home. I do any frozen fruit, greek yogurt, and some milk

Maybe they can eat leftovers from yesterday's supper.

If they are hungry, might as well give them the most nutrient dense foods.
