After-practice snack ideas parents can prep in five minutes

Right after practice, kids want food now. A little planning keeps the car ride peaceful and dinner on track.
Plan ahead
Keep a snack in the car so hunger does not turn into a meltdown. A small cooler or a zip bag in the console works. Rotate items so nothing sits for weeks.
Simple ideas
Yogurt with fruit, a cheese stick and crackers, a turkey roll-up, or a serving of protein gummies alongside a banana. Mix a salty and a sweet choice and offer water.
Think light, not a second dinner
Snacks should hold kids until the evening meal without ruining their appetite. A serving of Punchies is five gummies with 34 calories, which suits that job. See Punchies.
Finish with a real meal
The snack bridges the gap to dinner. Keep the focus on a balanced plate at home, with protein, produce and a starch. Related reading: How kids protein gummies became a category on originalkidsproteingummies.com.
