If you’ve got teens at home, you know they’re basically bottomless pits, always on the hunt for something to munch on! And let’s be real, finding snacks that are actually healthy and still get the teen stamp of approval? That can feel like searching for a unicorn. But don’t worry, I’ve got your back with some super easy snack ideas that hit the sweet spot between nutritious and totally crave-worthy.
Here are my top picks:
- Greek yogurt with berries (bonus points if you let them build their own parfait!)
- Hummus & veggies—because somehow dip makes everything more appealing
- Bagel with cream cheese (mini bagels work great for smaller appetites or after-school bites)
- Trail mix—let them toss in their favorite nuts, dried fruit, maybe even a few chocolate chips
- Hard-boiled eggs (pro tip: pre-peel them so no one complains about “too much work”)
- Mini charcuterie plates—think cheese cubes, crackers, turkey slices…fancy but easy!
- Apples & peanut butter—a classic combo that never gets old
- Smoothies—you can sneak in spinach, and they’ll never know
Simple snacks like these keep your busy teens fueled up, whether they’re running from school to soccer practice or just hanging out at home. Plus, it means fewer “Mommmm! There’s nothing to eat!” moments. Which is always a win in my book!
