20 Healthyish Kid-Approved Snacks

Wanting your kids to eat healthy snacks, and getting them to actually eat healthy snacks are two very different things.  Sometimes you have to meet them in the middle with homemade snacks that are healthy but not so healthy they won’t eat them.  These 20 kid-approved snacks are full of oats, fruits, and veggies but also have a little sugar and butter, too.  Many of these recipes are so easy that your kids can help make them too, which is a bonus because as this parent says  “when you’ve ‘made’ it yourself, it tastes so much better!” CC<3’s2bake

6. Emmi’s Banana Wraps

Rave Review: “This is one of my oldest boy’s favorite treats. It’s an excellent way to use up ripe bananas when your child is all “ew–bruised banana”. If it’s covered with peanut butter and rolled in a tortilla, you can’t see the bruises. ;) NOTE: This also works with Nutella or almond butter.” — Sarah Jo

9. Monkey Tails

Rave Review: “What a fun and yummy recipe, not to mention another terrific use for those over ripe bananas. They were easy for the kids to handle and dip in the chocolate themselves, which is great, because when you’ve ‘made’ it yourself, it tastes so much better!” —CC<3’s2bake
