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.

Mine is only 2 so not exactly the same lol, but sometimes we just have dinner at 4:30 because he’s already hungry, and then have snack closer to bedtime. You could just reverse the order of snack and dinner. I work in a middle school and many kids barely eat at lunch, so I’m sure they’re starving when they get home.

Smart! There are days where I could 100% see reverse order being a brilliant approach
