As a parent, you're always looking out for your child, and one important aspect is to keep them healthy and well-fed. Unfortunately, children have a knack of being drawn to snacks that are sugary or junk, and aren't satisfied or happy with anything less. And the ideal option is to snack smarter rather than not to snack at all. So if you're looking for healthy snacks for kids as an alternative that won't skimp out on the taste that they crave, then FourThirty snacks is the perfect place for you.

Snack ideas for your kids
-
Amaranth/Protein Crackers with Peanut Butter- The crackling crunch of a cracker paired with the sweet peanut butter provides a protein-filled snack.
-
Bhel with Chopped Veggies- Vegetables alone are an absolute no-no to children, but paired with our tangy, refreshing and fibre-rich bhel is a win-win for taste and nutrition.
-
Cocoa Fig Bites and Oatmeal- With our gooey and nutritious cocoa fig bites, a warm oatmeal can be elevated to a child's needs. Crumble them in or let it soften for a fudgy texture.
-
Yogurt and Trail Mix- The tangy sweetness of a yogurt balances with the contrasting savoury trail mix of nuts and seeds, providing children with a rich and nutritious snack.
- Biscotti and Warm Milk- Making kids drink their milk just became a little easier. The crumbly, crunchy, and gluten-free biscotti pairs delectably well with a simple, warm glass of milk or even an almond milk.
These are just some of the many other pairings that you can custom curate to the likings of your children. Diversity was never out of the question. Are you confused about what to try first? Why not try our FourThirty Junior Snack Box - Junior Special and get a taste of it all?
Tips to encourage healthy snacking
-
Lead by example- Kids learn by watching their parents and adults around them. If they see you indulge in a healthy snack more often, they most probably will follow suit.
-
Snack time Fun Time - How about making snacking a mini-adventure on its own? With the diverse options available, let your kid pick their toppings and combinations to build their perfect snack.
-
Stay Prepared - For all of us, hunger can strike at any time. But this goes even more for the kids. Stash these low-sugar options in your car or bag for that instinctive 'I'm hungry' moment.
-
Balance is Key - A switch to healthier alternatives doesn't mean overconsumption is alright. Low-sugar is great, but under relative moderation.
- Phasing-in change - It will be jarring for children to suddenly have their usual snacks changed. Bring careful, but steady change.
