Easy to Make Snacks
Most days, I let my kids find their own after school snacks in the house. They usually pick fruits or veggies, but some days I have a few extra minutes and love to make up some easy homemade snacks for them to munch on during homework time.
Fun Snacks for Kids
Any of the ingredients alone would be a fun snack for kids after school, but once you add some extra cheese and a packet of Italian Dressing it totally takes it out of this world. The kids and I couldn’t stop munching.
As I mentioned, after school snacks are usually fruits or veggies with some sort of dip, but I do love to surprise them with a fun snack on occasion. I always start with great quality ingredients, pretty much anything from the O Organics® line has been great and I can feel good about serving it to my kids.
Is O Organics® Brand Really Organic
The O Organics line, offers USDA certified organic products for creating delicious, healthy and affordable snacks that everyone enjoys. The O Organics products are available in my area exclusively at Albertsons and Safeway, but you can also find them at all of the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, and Carrs/Safeway. Visit Albertsons.com or Safeway.com to find a store near you and discover more meal prep tips and recipe ideas.
I love popping into Safeway for a quick shopping trip after I drop my son off at school. The employees are always so helpful and it’s easy to get in and out of quickly while staying under my grocery budget. They really believe that great-tasting organic food should be available to everyone at a great value.
How to Make a Snack Mix
A good homemade snack mix always starts with quality ingredients and is easy to make. Mix a couple tablespoons of oil with Ranch mix, Italian mix, French Onion mix and toss. Or try a couple tablespoons of melted butter with some cinnamon and sugar to go for a sweet mix. Change it up!
