10 Home Made Versions of Your Kids Favorite School Snacks
Being a parent can be super fun, but it also has it’s challenges. Like when your children go from hungry to hangry and start whining over and over about how they aren’t going to make it to the next meal without a snack. It can be easy to reach for a pre-packaged snack, and there’s no problem with that! But what if you could make all those snacks at home, save money and eliminate preservatives in the snacks? I’ve compiled a list of delicious snacks that are very similar to the snacks you by at the grocery store, but so much more delicious and ever so fresh.
1. Vegan Pop Tarts
Those tasty treats that even adults can’t seem to resist. These pop tarts are so fresh and topped with a creamy icing that contain your kids’ favorite sprinkle colors.

Instead of buying a tiny package of these in the line up at the grocery store for the kiddies, make a big batch of these all at once so you can always have some on hand without having to have the store bought wrappers lying all over your car.

Nutri-Grain bars were my favorite when I was younger! But when I got older, I began reading the ingredients and wasn’t overly impressed with all the unneeded ingredients that were hidden within each bar. This home made version skips those glucose-fructose additives and replaces that with real strawberries!

Crackers can be a really expensive purchase for the small box that you get. And with multiple kids, they disappear quickly! Get more bang for your buck when you make a big batch of these well loved crackers at home.

Gummy Bears are so good and so bad at the same time. It’s truly unfortunate! Whip together some original flavors to create an healthy snack that your kids will think is bad for them. You’ll get parent of the year!

This recipe is my favorite on the list. There’s so many ways that you can mix up the flavors and customize them to your child’s preference of ingredients.

Animal crackers are an amazing snack for kiddos to munch on during a road trip or even at school. Make it a family event to make these crackers and create different types of animals!

They cute and delicious and also way more healthy when they’re made at home – because there’s actual cheese in them! Your little ones will forget all about the store bought fishies once they get their hands on this recipe.
