Healthy Afternoon Snacks Before Dinner

11/8/2025

​Healthy Afternoon Snacks Before Dinner

After school (around 3-4 PM), kids need 150-250 calorie snacks that bridge to dinner (5-6 PM) without spoiling appetite. Focus on protein + fiber combos to stabilize blood sugar, easy digestion (no heavy fried foods), and fun presentation (e.g., "ants on a log"). Keep 1-2 hours before dinner; serve veggies if closer.
