"Mum, I'm staaaarving!!!"
If your kids are anything like mine, then they are always ravenous when they get in from school. They just want to eat anything that’s in sight – so how do you keep them happy without filling their bellies with junk?
Here are some healthy snacks to keep your kids satisfied until dinner time:
Oat cakes spread with peanut butter, humus or cream cheese
A bowl of tomato and lentil soup – takes 5 minutes of prep time if you use tinned toms. Make a big pot and it will last a few days
Hard-boiled egg – keep a stash in the crisper drawer of your fridge
Mashed avocado on a slice of wholemeal toast
Chopped up veggies with humus – use baby carrots and cherry toms for a chop-free option
Natural yogurt with blueberries – you could also try chopped nuts, chia seeds or sliced banana
Tinned mackerel on toast
