Tired of having the same, plain old sandwich every day? Coming up with fun and new ideas for snacks isn’t always easy. In this list from Serenity Kids you’ll find plenty of packable snacks that kids and adults are bound to enjoy.
- Apple Chips
If your family loves apple chips, it’s very easy to make them at home. You should use a mandolin for even slices, but a sharp knife will work as well. The recipe includes a dip, but you can easily just make the chips to pack.
- Homemade Parmesan Crackers
This takes a bit more effort, but crackers are easy to make. These crackers can be a great swap for store-bought crackers and go great with cheese or other snacks. If you like baking or just want to get into it, this is a nice easy recipe to start with.
- Banana Molasses Granola Bars
This is another really simple recipe. You just have to mix the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining and baking the whole thing.
