The best healthy savoury snacks for kids

If you’re looking for healthy savoury snacks for kids then look no further. There are 16 delicious and healthy recipes below.

Every day without fail when I pick my kids up from school they say the same thing – “Mummy, can I have a snack?” And of course I give them one because otherwise the hours until tea time are just too painful!

I’ve been working hard lately at making snacks count – yes, let the kids have something after school or mid-morning on the weekend but make it nutritious. But it’s really hard to get the balance right – healthy snacks that aren’t too filling and don’t contain too much salt or sugar aren’t all that easy to come by.

To avoid my shopping bill getting high I make a lot of my own snacks but I realised that many of my favourites were sweet recipes and that it would be a good idea for the kids to have more savoury snacks. So I had a look for recipes from some of my favourite kid food bloggers and found loads of amazing ideas. Many of the recipes below are easy to make and can be frozen or keep well for several days. And most of them can be eaten on the walk home from school – before “hanger” sets in!
