Healthy snack ideas from A-Z

If you’re looking for healthy preschool snack ideas for your preschooler, read on.  We’ve got them from A-Z!

Check out these healthy preschool snack ideas! Great for any time or for letter of the week snacks.

Whether you’re just looking to get away from packaged, processed food, or simply want some new preschool snack ideas to liven up your routine, we’ve got a great list for you!  And I’ve listed them alphabetically if you’re on the lookout for letter of the week snacks.

Thankfully, we don’t have any food allergies at our house (yet!), but if that’s an issue in your home or preschool, you’ll of course want to steer clear of certain foods.

A – apple slices, unsweetened applesauce, almonds, ants on a log (celery sticks with peanut butter or cream cheese and raisins)

B – bananas, whole wheat bread and butter, broccoli, blueberries, healthy banana bread (we LOVE this recipe!), blackberries, black bean brownies (seriously delicious – try this recipe)

C – carrot slices or baby carrots, cucumbers, cantaloupe, cashews, cauliflower

D – dates, dip (we love to make dip with plain yogurt and a few mild seasonings)

Check out these healthy preschool snack ideas! Great for any time or for letter of the week snacks.

E – hardboiled eggs, edamame, whole wheat English muffin

F – fruit salad, dried figs, healthy fudge (this Eatmore fudge recipe is our fave!)

G – grapes, granola (I make a double batch of this granola every couple of weeks), homemade graham crackers

Check out these healthy preschool snack ideas! Great for any time or for letter of the week snacks.

H – honeydew melon, rolled up ham, veggies with hummus

I – homemade ice cream (We make ours once a week using this fabulous machine with equal parts cream and whole milk.  Then we add 1 tbsp pure maple syrup for every cup of liquid.  Delicious!)

J – sugar-free jam (we like Smuckers Spreadable Fruit) on whole wheat bread or crackers (can’t beat Kashi!)

K – kiwi, fruit kabobs, homemade kale chips (I’ve never tried these, but this kale chip recipe looks great!)

L – lettuce salad  – sounds crazy, but when you let the kids wash and clean the lettuce with a salad spinner and add their own veggies, they just might eat it!

M – melon, mandarin oranges, muffins (try this recipe for pumpkin banana muffins – sooo good)

N – nuts, navel oranges, nectarines

O – oranges, healthy oatmeal cookies

P – pears, pineapple, pumpkin seeds, air-popped popcorn, peaches, plums, peanuts, papaya, peas, homemade pita bread (check out our new favorite recipe for homemade pita bread)

Q – quesadilla wedges, quinoa

Check out these healthy preschool snack ideas! Great for any time or for letter of the week snacks.

R – raisins, raspberries, red pepper

S – strawberries, snap peas, vegetables with salsa, mini whole wheat sandwiches (cut them with with a shaped cookie cutter just for fun)

T – whole wheat toast, cherry tomatoes, tangerines, turkey

Check out these healthy preschool snack ideas! Great for any time or for letter of the week snacks.

U – ugli fruit (yes, that’s really ugli fruit, and no, I haven’t tried it either), uncooked fruits or vegetables

V – vegetables

W – watermelon, whole wheat bread, wafers

X – celery or carrot sticks in the shape of an X

Y – yellow peppers, plain yogurt

Z – healthy zucchini bread (something I’ve yet to find – but this version has some extra nutrition)

    Suggestions should be but-free, considering all the children with allergies.

      Many of us teach our children at home, which is why I included suggestions with nuts. My own children have no allergies, so we like to include healthy nuts in our diet.
