Tasty & Healthy Evening Snacks For Kids

Children can be quite fussy, especially when it comes to eating healthy foods. And during the current situation of complete lockdown due to the ongoing deadly COVID-19 pandemic, it is extremely arduous to meet the specific needs of kids while providing them with these mini food options.

Evening hunger pangs are the most crucial part of the day for energetic kids. Now that they are always at home, and playing or doing some other activities, they mostly hanker about a lot of snacks all the time. Since groceries are also limited at this hour, for a parent to get the proper proportions of vegetables or any other food options is quite difficult.

Most kids look for food options that are inviting and it is up to you to provide them with something nutritious that will not only energize them to carry on with their playtime or studies but also satiate them for the rest of the day. While a glass of milk and crackers, might seem to be a healthy choice, kids nowadays tend to look for options that are tasty and appealing and hence it is quite a tiresome task for every parent out there, to meet their likes with a nutritious twist.

Quite often, children get cranky if they don’t receive food at proper timings. A small snack in between meals prevent children from overeating at larger meals and for those who are picky eaters, snacks offer an extra advantage of providing necessary nutrients. The best snacking options should be healthy and nutritious, high on fibre, more on protein, and vitamins with less sugar, salt, and other added preservatives and fats. It can often be in the form of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grain or protein-rich options.
