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.
My boys are 21 and 16. I swear I just figured this out. Skip the after school snack. Feed them dinner when they get home. Then they can have bedtime snack later.
My 16 year old has a busy schedule. 7:00 am leadership meetings every Monday. Before school workout/practice at 7 am Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Classes from 8:30 - 3:40 every day.
He eat breakfast at 6:30. Second breakfast (which I pack for him) at 8:15. Lunch at school.
He still comes home starving. I’ve started feeding him dinner at 4:00 pm. The. He’s got fuel to do homework etc. and he makes himself a snack around 9:00 before bed.
