Instructions
- Corn fritters: Pop the homemade tomato relish in a little leakproof tub and don’t expect any leftovers! See the recipe for Sweetcorn fritters with tomato relish.
- Hummus: Perfect for an after-school snack, toasty dippers are the perfect partner for homemade hummus. See the recipe for Hummus with toasty dippers.
- Sandwich roll ups: The trick to a great sandwich roll up is choosing fresh, tasty bread that the kids like. See the recipe for turkey pesto roll-ups.
- Mini frittatas: These little frittatas are made with bacon and peas but you can substitute these for other cooked deli meats or veggies. See the recipe for Mini bacon and pea frittatas.
- Boost balls: This recipe uses dates, peanut butter, raw cacao powder and almonds. See the recipe for chocolate nut balls.
- Weet-Bix slice: A Kiwi kids classic. We’ve topped our version with a lemon icing which can be drizzled over the top. See the recipe for Weet-Bix slice with lemon icing.
- Pikelets: A version with hidden veggies. See the recipe for veggie pikelets.
Notes
Tip
For mini frittatas, you can substitute bacon and peas for other cooked deli meats or veggies like diced capsicum, leftover roast pumpkin or kumara, or grated zucchini.
Tip
The trick to a great sandwich roll up is choosing fresh, tasty bread that the kids like – otherwise they will never even consider trying the filling.

Can definitely use this image to print out and place on the fridge door. I especially run out of ideas for snacks. Although it’s usually just PB & J that my little one likes.
Loving the ideas from Busy happy kids it’s so easy to just give the kids the same things that they like to eat, but then they get stuck on them and wont try anything new. I’m definitely going to make some of the weetbix slice for the kids of course.. haha
What a helpful graphic! Sometimes I just go completely blank when the kids are asking for a snack! My kids do love pikelets and pancakes. They would be pretty easy. Corn fritters would probably be a hit with one of my kids. Great ideas 👍
My toddler loves pikelets so will have to try the vegetable ones
My daughter is actually really liking the little healthy snack balls – found a peanut butter and cacao that she loves, so pop one in her lunch 🙂 She’s a bit of a fussy little Miss so it can be hard to get her stuff for snacking that she will actually eat lol
Yummy I love new ideas that are healthy and a change from the usual snacks. It’s just getting round to making sure I have all the ingredients before I go ahead and try and make new snacks. The kids always love new things for school lunches and after school.
Aw gosh yum these sound so good…. Really good lunch box fillers that eliminate the packet stuff too… Yay… I must admit I’m abit reliant on package stuff as I have such a mind block on what to create for the 3 boys that’ll be yum and healthy… This has helped alot!! Evwn as simple as roll up sandwiches instead of usual 2 pieces with filling cut in half… Love it
