I came here the other day to comment and got distracted by pinning everything. Ha! So now I reminded myself to come back. I love the photography and I love pretty much every snack idea.
Love this! My daughter is all about strawberries and bananas, so I’ve definitely tried those with frozen yogurt and peanut butter (bananas). She loves them, and the fact that she’s eating fruits makes it all the more better. Definitely sharing and pinning this for later. Thanks so much for sharing these awesome ideas on #shinebloghop this week. So happy you were able to join us 🙂
What a great round up! My kids will love these–especially the banana PB sandwiches. Thanks for sharing at MeetUp Monday!
These look delicious! I love how most of them are things that my kids already like, just with a healthy add on. I’ll have to add some of these to the snack rotation.
I’m visiting from The Small Victories Sunday Link Party! 🙂
What great ideas you have shared. I love the mix of peanut butter and bananas. And those carrot and sweet potato chips or fries as you call them, delicious. I sure will pass this on. I think mums are always in a fix when it comes to sugar and sweets. Thanks.

Looks like delicious collection, I will try it for my kids, thanks for sharing with Hearth and soul blog hop. pinning and tweeting.
We have fritters as dinner! And my kids have been loving yogurt popsicles lately (I also find that they eat less of it in popsicle form than if they just have a big old bowl of yogurt in front of them.)
Oh my gosh, these look so good. Thanks for putting these all together. I will definitely be trying for my kids!
