I know from experience it&#8217;s very easy to get stuck in a rut and grab a couple of biscuits on the way out to school pick up. So here&#8217;s the inside track (from mums at the school gate) on healthy snacks that kids like and will eat.<\/p>\n<p>Get children&nbsp;involved with your quest for \u201chealthier snacks\u201d getting them to add up sugar cubes on the \u2018Sugar Smart\u2019 app. It&#8217;s simple to use. Just scan the barcode of their&nbsp;favourite food or drink and it pops up with how many sugar cubes it contains. My kids were shocked at how many sugar cubes were in a packet of their favourite biscuits\u2026<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/change4life-sugar-smart\/id1015850256?mt=8\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MNT-sugar-app-300x289.png\" alt=\"Image of the Sugar Smart app\" width=\"300\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MNT-sugar-app-300x289.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MNT-sugar-app-768x739.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MNT-sugar-app-1024x986.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MNT-sugar-app.png 1198w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting the 5-a-day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We all know that you can\u2019t beat fruit or vegetables for a super healthy snack. Make getting their five-a-day fun by serving fruit on cocktail sticks or by adding stickers to a colourful bag full of fruit and veg. My 8-year old loves cucumber, celery and carrot sticks with a small pot of hummus \u2013 just perfect for a quick after school snack. And, I even write messages and smiley faces on her banana to take to school! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-203 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fruit.jpg\" alt=\"fruit\" width=\"451\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fruit.jpg 852w, https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fruit-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fruit-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheese &amp; Eggs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Protein from cheese and eggs will help fill hungry tummies fast.

Top with cheese, jam (no-added-sugar of course), banana, hummus, or mashed avocado. Healthy nut butters without added sugar such as almond or cashew are great too. Apples spread with nut butter are a favourite in our house. Avoid taking nuts into school because of allergies.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-206 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/rice-cakes-620x330.jpg\" alt=\"rice-cakes-620x330\" width=\"470\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/rice-cakes-620x330.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.mynametags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/rice-cakes-620x330-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>A (healthy) Biscuit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy baking then it\u2019s so much better to make your own healthy versions of muffins\/flapjacks etc as you \u201cknow\u201d exactly what you\u2019ve put in them, say many mums.
