The end-of-school-year frenzy has passed, but kids are showing no signs of slowing down. Even with the “lazy days” of summer, they’ll be heading to camps, playing at the pool, or meeting friends at the park — and they’ll need healthy snacks to power them through it all! Try a few of these fresh and fun options that you and your kids can make together to stock your shelves and simplify like when you’re running out the door.

• Fruit Fun: Berries, peaches, and melons are all in season in the summer —and kids can easily use a spray bottle of produce wash to get them ready for prep. Smaller kids can use a cookie cutter to cut fruit into bags full of fun shapes, while big kids love sliding them onto skewers for kabobs. Frozen grapes are another easy warm weather treat.

• Think small: Mini vegetables are easy to dress up and make perfect take-along snacks. Try mini carrots with dip or hummus cups, or stuff mini bell peppers with cream cheese or hummus. And don’t forget the classic ants on a log — celery sticks topped with peanut butter and raisins.

• Snack Salad: Combine favorite dry snacks like popcorn, nuts, dried fruit, and cereal into individual bags for a homemade trail mix that’s a fun take on a classic. 

• Wrap it Up: Spread some favorite fillings on a tortilla, roll it up, slice into wheels and store in the fridge so they stay together. Think turkey and cheese, peanut butter and banana, or strawberries and chocolate hazelnut spread.
