SIMPLE SNACKS

Healthy and tasty bites for the kids to whip up after school.



Don't let your children fill up on junk food after school if they arrive home before you. Get them to try these ideas instead:



CINNAMON TOAST

Spread two pieces of toast with a little margerine or butter. Top with some mixed together cinnamon and sugar.



PROCESSED CHEDDAR CHEESE ON TOAST

Spread a little margerine or butter on a piece of toast. Top with a slice of cheese. Sprinkle some sugar. Toast in the oven for 3 to 5 mins.



ICECREAM ON TOAST

Toast a slice of bread, then top with ice cream.



MUFFINS & CRUMPETS

Keep a range in the freezer so they are ready to be popped into the microwave.



CRACKERJACK

Create a tin of assorted crackers to eat with cheese or spreads.



SUBMARINES

Give them sub-shaped bread rolls, cut lengthways. Refrigerate tubs of 'pizza' toppings, such as cheese, salsa, salami and vegetables. If your child is old enough, once topped, the sub can be slid under the griller.



PIKELETS

Store-bought pikelets and hotcakes are popular with kids. Freeze individually, so they don't stick together.



STUFFED SPUDS

Provide tubs of fillings, such as cheese, beans, corn, sauces, coleslaw. Show your child how to cook a potato in the microwave, then they can add the topping.
