After a jam-packed day of school adventures, your kids come home with a hearty appetite. As you prepare their lunch, here are some ideas for quick, easy-to-make, and nutritious snacks.
Quick Sandwiches
Panini
Discover endless taste options with just two pieces of toast, including veggies, cheese, and quick-prepped protein. Want a more distinctive flavor? Press them on the panini griddle for a few minutes, and you will have the best crisp with the minimum effort.
Quesadilla
It represents another dimension of sandwiches. You only need one type of melting cheese, so it holds everything together. Prepare the rest of the ingredients on a tray to allow your kids to assemble their version of quesadillas. Toast the bread on an electric grill and enjoy a delightful quick snack.
If you haven't heard of this dish before, here's a quick recipe: Use your trusted falafel mix and dilute it slightly with unsweetened waffle batter, then bake it in a waffle maker until you get the desired texture. Enjoy it with a little hummus or tahini dip.
As for the kids who love the original sweet taste of waffles, bake the batter then let them have fun with the toppings, like fresh strawberries, Chocolate syrup, or whipped cream.
Veggie Sticks with Dip
Adding dip to veggies won’t only guarantee fun but will also add to the snack's nutrition. It helps kids to explore new taste combinations and find their next trendy dish. No need to cook. Just bat down some vegetables and pour the dip you have in your hands. Hit it in the food processor if you are looking for a smooth texture or add some hidden ingredients to increase the
nutritional value. Here are some delicious dip suggestions
