Snacks

Well, I thought I'd posted this at the beginning of the school year, but, in going back it looks like I only posted the ideas for the treat bags.  Since this topic came up the other day when talking with some other moms and, because frankly, I've been stuck in a rut with no snack ideas, here is a list of snack ideas for the kids' school days (or any time).

Snack Ideas
    *We are limited for snacks by keeping things simple and non-refrigerated/non-heated, so I only list those here.

  • apples (if cut, sprinkled with cinnamon or rubbed with lemon juice; occasionally with pb or a dip)
  • other fruits
  • fruit leather ( Stretch Island or homemade)
  • dried fruit
  • Tings
  • Ener-G Wylde pretzels
  • veggies (sometimes with peanut butter or hummus, which, by the way freezes in an ice cube tray perfectly)
  • breadsticks
  • bars: Lara, Boomi, Oskiri, Enjoy Life, Envirokids (most flavors), Trio, Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch
  • granola bites/bars (homemade)
  • popcorn (toppings here include: flaxseed oil, salt, nutritional yeast, chili powder/chipotle powder or hot sauce, lemon juice; occasionally cinnamon & sugar)
  • Clif Twisted Fruit
  • rice crackers
  • graham crackers (homemade)
  • Fritos Scoops
  • potato chips
  • Mission tortilla chips
  • jerky (homemade as I haven't found one without soy)
  • cookies
  • muffins or quick breads
  • pancake with peanut butter
  • Super Fridge Fudge
  • cereal
  • trail mix (mix of whatever is handy: peanuts, nuts, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), sunflower seeds, cereal, dried fruit, chocolate chips)
Other ideas
     when refrigeration or portability is not an issue-
  • canned fruit
  • applesauce (cinnamon added on top)
  • sorbet
  • Jello or homemade gelatin
  • boiled egg
  • pudding (homemade)
What are your favorites that I've missed?  I'm always looking for new ideas!
