Figuring out healthy after-school snacks can be tough. With all the sugar-laden treats out there, how can you create a healthy snack that will satisfy your kids?

If youʼve got some leftover chicken in the fridge, after-school snacks are a breeze. Making food more fun is as simple as serving food on a stick or food in a bundle. Keep some healthy condiments on hand, such as hummus or tzatziki, and you can easily have healthy and delicious bites to tide kids over until dinner.

Try threading leftover chicken onto a stick. Add a dipping sauce or light salad dressing, and you have an easy, fun snack. To make it even more nutritious, alternate morsels of chicken with coarsely chopped vegetables such as red peppers, tomatoes, or cucumber. Kids have an instant kabob thatʼs fun to eat, and you can relax knowing that their snack is nutritious.

Mini pitas are a fun way to bundle up food. Open up a mini pita pocket and spread one side with tzatziki. Stuff in some shredded chicken, some tomatoes, and even some feta if your kids like it, and fold in the sides to enclose it. Youʼve got a mini sandwich thatʼs a great snack on the go.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to snacking on leftover chicken. Itʼs lean and nutritious, and by keeping snacktime fun, your kids will be healthy snackers every day of the week.
