Kids need an after-school pick-me-up! Their brains and bodies are exhausted by the end of the school day, and they need fuel packed with lots of nutrients. These after-school boards will motivate your children to opt for more nutritious nibbles.
The power of a healthy snack is all in the prep and presentation! The key is placing the ingredients in a way that excites kids for their in-between meal. Once this after-school board is part of their daily routine, they will know delicious items are on the way.
The board should include carbs, cheese, fruits, veggies and some of their favorite treats like Goldfish crackers or Animal crackers- the perfect fuel to help them finish their homework or charge through sports practice. The options are limitless with the after-school board.
