The Secret To A Healthy, Nutritious But Delicious After-School Snack Resides In This Post

As the new school year kicks off, it’s time to dust down the pencil case, break in those new shoes and get back into term-time routines.

We all know what it means when the kids finally get home from a long day at school: snack-time.

Every day, like clockwork, a bunch of hungry kids run through the door come 4 p.m. It’s rather astonishing how much food kids can scarf down after school, and it’s hard to find quick snacks that everyone will love. Sure, you probably have an entire press dedicated to packaged snacks that are ready to eat. But those snacks are not only not the healthiest option but they also cost quite a lot of money in the long run. After all, how many years do kids go to school again?

If nutrition and budget are concerns of yours too, why not start making snacks from scratch? Trust me, you do not need to be a chef to do this. Oh, and if you think these biscuits take hours to prepare, they don't. They can be prepared in minutes or can be part of your Sunday meal-prep.
