Snacks

I don’t give a lunch snack—just sandwich and fruit. Maybe on occasion a cookie for Friday/special day. For others I’ll do:
Cut fruit or veggies
Pretzels/crackers
Cheese sticks
Yogurt
Granola bar

its SO SO hard when it has to be peanut free, too. ( I mean, i get it, but i feel like i end up sending the same stuff because i know its "school safe".
they like strawberries or grapes, cut up cheese, rice krispie treats, goldfish, those apple chip things, granola bars (but they can only eat those in the cafeteria at lunch, not in the classroom during snack time...) They like that SmartFood cheddar popcorn....

after school is basically the same thing- some cut up fruit, and some chips or something. They also like the Costco trail mix, too that has the nuts and a few M&Ms in it. My older son also like Grahm Crackers with some peanut butter on them, too

Usually change it up, but my boys like the same thing. My 9 year old gets one snack and my 7 year old gets 2.

After school snack during homework -

My 1st grader takes a kid's cliff bar every day for snack. In her lunch she gets just gets fruit and sometimes pretzels. After school they don't snack much but if they do it's fruit, pretzels, tortilla chips, dry cereal, or cheese sticks.

I send a bag of snacks weekly so she can choose each day. I try not to send anything refrigerated. She gets applesauce, pretzels, veggie straws, goldfish, graham crackers, cereal bar, those bel vita cookie packs, ritz cheese crackers, fruit snacks. It’s a carb fest.

Do you guys separate the lunch and school snacks? My child just started buying his lunch (ugh) so i have no idea what he actually eats in the cafeteria. I wind up sending in applesauce, pretzles/goldfish/cheese its or something like that and sometimes a cookie or something fun. I sometimes do yogurt sticks (frozen) or string cheese.

Yes, I separate. Lunch bag for lunch and then a smaller zipper pouch bag for her classroom snack.

I send her lunch in her lunchbox and her snack in a small velcro pouch with her name on it. I used to use a paper lunch bag for snack but I wanted something reusable.

Re: Snacks

For lunch at school, he usually gets a piece of fruit. Today I sent pretzels with hummus. Sometimes a cheese stick and sometimes a tube of yogurt.

For snack at school in the afternoon he gets a pouch of apple sauce, fruit snacks, the Brookside Chocolate covered blueberries or a granola bar.

After school he'll eat all sorts of crap. Hence the healthier things at school. LOL

Re: Snacks

Gogurt (freeze so it stays cold and if still frozen, it’s like ice bar)
Popcorn bag (skinny pop from Costco)
Dole fruit cups
Goldfish crackers
Granola bars (nut free)
Carrot sticks
Grapes
Blueberries
Cherry tomatoes
Apples
Banana
Pears
Clementines
Rice crispy treats
Welch’s fruit snacks (very rarely as my dentist hates them)
Pretzels
Whole grain chips
Everything bagel pretzels
Cheese sticks/Babybell cheeses

I rotate stuff so that they get sick of it and then miss it
The only one who doesn’t get carrots or grapes is the 3 year old because I have to cut it and I don’t like doing things in the AM!

So where are all the parents that send in chips or fruit snacks/?? My child is always complaining to me that everyone else gets those and he gets stuck with applesauce, fruit and cheese. Lately ive been letting him have a small bag of cookies, animal crackers, or chips in addition to the good stuff. So glad school is ending!!!

Yeah DD tells me of the kids who bring in cookies, cakes, Doritos, potato chips.
I let her take in a bag of pirate booty or even dorritos if we have them in the house. And sometimes a few chips ahoy
I'm not one to stand on healthy eating though.
Her and I both eat like shit. It is, what it is, I don't put on airs. LOL

THANK YOU -- not one person listed anything in the "unhealthy"column with the exception of rice krispy treats. I feel like my kid eats healthy but one "junk" snack a day isnt going to hurt overall.

My son is in JHS. He gets a sandwich, chips, an applesauce pouch (LOL), muffins, a drink and a fruit snack. I also always put $2 in in case he wants something from the vending machines.

Is it the healthiest? No. Is it the worst? No.

Snacks

school snacks: Stonyfield smoothie or yogurt squeeze tube
fruit
cheese stick
crackers or skinnypop

Lunch snack: Always chips or pretzels

They're thin as rails but literally this is what I pack every day. My one DD refuses to eat a cheese stick unless it's the yellow and white swirly kind, so she doesn't get it every day (insert eye-roll) and she would also take beef bologna every day if I let her.
The other one eats like a dude, and she's a stick Chat Icon God Bless her

My kids eat a TON of crap at home. I tend to send healthy stuff to school bc then they have no choice but to eat it, or be hungry. They usually eat it.

This is the same thing I wrote above - lol.

I typically send in a special treat - oreo dippers, bag of chips, fruit snacks, etc - on Fridays. I really try to limit fruit snacks though as my side is prone to cavities.
