Quick and Easy After School Snacks

These quick and easy after school snacks are a great way to pack in nutrition in a short amount of time — perfect for busy family schedules! A big thank you to Capri Sun for sponsoring today’s after school snack ideas! I like to have Capri Sun Juice Drinks on-hand for a portable and convenient drink the kids love whenever we are on-the-go. I also love that they are made with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, and now they feature a new clear bottom pouch!



The clear bottom pouches make it easy to check for punctures or leaks, and you can see what a drink with no artificial colors or preservatives looks like. I love that this was a feature requested by many parents, and Capri Sun listened! Any of the Capri Sun Juice Drinks, Capri Sun 100% Juice, or Capri Sun Super V Fruit and Vegetable Juice Drinks would make for a super convenient drink option for any of these quick and easy after school snack ideas!

My kids are always super hungry when they arrive home from a long day at school, so I try to have quick and easy snacks that are ready ahead of time for when they walk in the door. Many of these can be prepared in just a few short minutes, and the kids love to help make them too! I can keep the containers on a lazy susan in the the refrigerator as a self-serve snack tray, so even my little one can access the snacks in the back of the fridge.
