Processed foods are quick but they're the enemy when it comes to health.

 

But busy mums don't always have time to cook snacks, especially on top of lunch and dinner. 

 

So what can you give peckish kids that's healthy, quick and easy? Here are just five ideas for you...

 

Peanut pear perfection

 

 

This is a great way to get your kids eating fruit. Simply chop a pear into long, thin slices. Then add some all-natural peanut butter, and top it off with some granola.

 

Spread the hummus

 

Speaking of hummus, why not spread it on a wrap, then add some sliced cucumber and crumbled feta and you’re sorted. Make the wrap wholewheat so as it’s as healthy as it can be.

 

Think Turkey

 

 

Top celery with cream cheese and a slice of turkey. If your child is particularly peckish, pop the cheese and turkey on a cracker. Then eat the celery in stick form dunked into hummus

 

Wedges, the sweet way

 

Sweet potatoes are bursting with nutrients including fibre and vitamins A, C and E.

 

Simply slice the spud into small chunks (add some chopped carrots and onions while you're at it) and pop them into an oven dish. Drizzle with olive oil. 25 minutes in the oven roast them nicely. They’re great on their own or with a dip of your choice.

 

Avocado smash

 

 

Very popular in Australia, ‘avo smash’ is really easy. Simply mash some feta, mint and avocado together, along with a large squeeze of lemon juice. Once it’s combined, spread it over a slice of wholemeal toast, adding salt and pepper to taste. Pop an egg on top if you want to add extra protein. Delish!
