School Snacks- Healthy but Fun

Hey guys,

So as school or work has begun for basically all of us, I thought that it were about time that I write a blog post with ideas for yummy but healthy snacks. Some of these are shop bought and others will of course be homemade.

1. Nakd Bars

These healthy and nutritious bars are the perfect snack to bring with you on the go and with a variety of flavours, for berries to chocolate, they should have a taste to satisfy everyone. My personal favorite is Cocoa Crunch,which may sound unhealthy but is packed with 18% protein which is very important for your diet. These bars are also have another bonus, they are wheat, dairy and gluten free and they only have natural sugars.

2. Carrots and Hummus

By simply chopping up some carrots and popping them into a tub with a spoon of hummus you could have an amazing snack. Carrots are full of healthy minerals and vitamin A. Carrots are also full of antioxidants in ample amounts. Hummus is a great way to get extra protein into the body. It made from chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice and salt. It is also full of flavour and I love it.  Chickpeas help to lower cholesterol!

3. Pitta bread

Another snack to have is pitta bread, in particular, whole wheat ones. They are a good way to get more fibre into your system and help to fill you up as they have a high carbohydrate content. I often put something like ham in them for lunch or you can add marmite or any filling of you choice.

4. Chocolate

Once a week or something like that I like to have something a little bit sweeter and richer. You can have a chocolate bar or a chocolate covered rice cake (my favorite). Having dark chocolate is better for you but there is no problem in having a treat ever so often.

5. Smoothies

Smoothies are something you can make on a daily basis and take into school. They can be filled with whatever you want from something super healthy like goji berries and kale to yoghurt and banana but either one is good. To boost the energy that a smoothie gives you should add oats. They are full of fibre, they give you energy and they also help to lower cholesterol. You can have these throughout the day to keep you going.

6. Granola bars

Granola bars are one of the best snacks to go to school with. They can be packed with all sorts of different oats and berries which will slowly release energy throughout the day. You can make you own ( recipe down below) or you can simply by them in packs from the shops as they sell them pretty much anywhere.


Hope that this gave you some ideas into what kind of snacks to bring to school
