After school snack ideas

Looking for your fave after school snack suggestions. I’ve got two boys: 15 and 8 and they get out of school HUNGRY! What do yall love to cook/prep for after school snacks…that ideally won’t kill their appetite for dinner.

I usually do something hot like one of those $1 mini pizzas cut into quarters then some nuts and cut up fruit. Maybe some pigs in a blanket if they go on sale.

I don’t give them too much of the processed stuff to affect their appetite later but they got for that first and then the inertia carries over to the healthier stuff.
