Whether they're in a club or after-school program, play on a sports team or go straight home, when the school day is done, all children have something in common - they could use a good snack! Children need healthy fuel after school, but often can be picky about what they'll reach for. Parents can struggle to nd snacks that are portable and provide the protein and nutrition kids need, plus deliver on the avor and fun factor that will ensure their kids eat the snack instead of tossing it in the trash. Hungry for snack ideas? Here are some tips for choosing snacks that parents can feel good about to help keep your kids going when the school day ends: * Pack in protein - Protein is a vital component of a balanced diet, especially for the developing bodies of young children. Choosing a high-protein snack can also help children avoid the energy crash that occurs after consuming sugary snacks. Look for protein-rich snacks like Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bars, which offer 10 grams of protein and are available in kid-friendly avors like Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel Nut.
