These fun healthy snacks for kids are sponsored by Happy Family Yogurt but the content and opinions expressed are my own. 
As a busy Mama to five kiddos under the age of nine, I strive to create a happy family every day! One of the key ingredients to happiness in my home is full tummies, so I like to have a variety of healthy snacks ready for playtime, after school and whenever one of the kids needs a little boost. Sometimes snacktime can get mundane, so I’m excited to share eight of my go-to fun healthy snacks for kids and I think you’ll love these quick, easy and HEALTHY snack options as much as your kids.
First up, these Yogurt-Dipped Frozen Bananas are a crowd favorite in my home. Simply cut a banana in half, place a skewer in the bottom, and dip in Happy Family Yogurt. Put on a parchment covered sheet pan and top with sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until frozen. These are great for those hot days as a substitute for a sugar-filled popsicle.
By the way, I’m so thankful Happy Family Yogurt has these pouches as an option. They have the benefit of probiotics and no added sweeteners. I like to use for fun recipes like the above or toss in lunch boxes, my travel cooler, and the diaper bag. I love that yogurt is a great snack for ALL my kids, even my baby girl loves yogurt and it’s a great snack option for babies getting started on solid foods due to it being rich in nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamins. Happy Family Yogurt is always on my shopping list when I hit Walmart for necessities (click here for savings)!
One of our other favorite snacks is the classic and super easy, “Ants on a Log”. I serve these with raisins on top, but also like to change it up and make fun creations like this Snail. Simply spread peanut butter in a length of celery and add an apple slice, two mini chocolate chips for eyes, and pieces of pretzels for the antennas. These are crunchy, healthy and delicious!
My next two fun healthy snack options for kids go over really well, because if your kids are like mine, they like anything “on a stick”… grape poppers are simply grapes attached to a cute toothpick and dipped in melted white candy. I like to reduce sugar when I can, but a little dip of candy is a fun element to this snack. Dip mini chocolate chips in the candy as well to make little eyes.
Fruit kabobs are beautiful as well as healthy. They are fun for parties in addition to snacks and kids even love to assemble their own by threading bite-sized fruit slices/ pieces onto skewers. I have the cutest mini cookie cutters that I like to use to cut fun shapes in fruit, cheese, and other foods to make them a little more fun. This one is easy peasy!!
Banana Bites are another super simple recipe that results in a yummy and nutritious snack. Slice a banana into chunks, top with sprinkles and mini chocolate chips and these will disappear in no time!
When we have a little extra time for snack time I love making Fruit Pizza with my kids. The “pizzas” are simple to assemble, healthy and the kids can customize their own “pizzas” to their taste. I use a graham cracker as the base, spread with whipped cream cheese and top with sliced fruit (whatever I have on hand!), definitely fun healthy snacks for kids.
Nutella Apple Slices are another favorite. I’m not sure you can get much better than creamy Nutella on top of crisp, sweet apple slices! Top with chopped nuts or sprinkles and you’re kids will love this colorful snack!
And last but not least, one of my personal favs… Cucumber Sandwiches. Not the typical tea party sandwiches but….cut out some fun shaped slices of cheese, add some turkey meat, and you’ve got a fun protein-packed healthy option. You can also easily add sliced tomato and avocado to this!
I hope you enjoyed these fun healthy snacks for kids. I’d love to hear any snacks that are favorites in your home.

All of these are so cute! My daughter would love all of these!
Wow, how do you find the time with 5 kids? So creative and cute. Love the ideas, thank you my kids would love these.
Well I usually just make one of these at a time, haha!! But it was so fun to make them all and we turned it into a picnic!
These are so adorable and much to nice to eat, lol. Thanks for posting!
These are some innovative and cool ideas..Wow you are soo innovative i am totally in love with these especially the yogurt dipped filled bananas
These snacks are so fun! I don’t have kids yet but I am going to make these for my husband and I! Such cute ideas!
My husband loves these too!
Great snacks! I think your grape poppers are adorable! I’ll be trying them!
Thank you, I hope you enjoy!
Sorry, my brain is still buzzing from the part where you said 5 kiddos under 9. How do you have the time or patience to dip anything in anything?? Anyway, these are cute — I especially like the “fruit pizza” idea. Although my daughter has no problem eating fruit. It’s veggies that are the issue.
Love the fruit pizza idea. I’ll take sections of Graham crackers and spread strawberry cream cheese. Then I’ll add sliced strawberries on top.
These are so fun!! And they all look yummy. I pinned it so I can venture to make one of these next week 🙂
Thank you for pinning!
Omg these snacks look adorable and yummy! Although I’m not a kid I could definitely see myself making some of these snacks especially the fruit pizza on those days when I need a snack but dont want junk food.
These are wonderful healthy snack ideas! I love the idea of filing the bannana in yogurt and adding sprinkles or any topping choice! What a clever idea. I will be trying that this summer 🙂
Thank you! A great healthier option for hot days!
Such fun and cute ideas.. my kids would totally love to eat any of these snacks!
So glad you enjoyed, thank you!
The 🍇 worms idea is a great one….
I like all of these ideas. Most kids don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables.
So many great ideas! Our daughter loves bananas and peanut butter but we haven’t put chocolate chips or sprinkles or anything like that on them (she’s only 11 months right now haha). She also loves these yogurt pouches. They’re so easy to take with us so they make for a super quick and easy breakfast or snack option.
What fun healthy snack ideas for kids! I love all that confetti! These are perfect kid-friendly treats for backyard BBQs, family gatherings and upcoming summer holiday celebrations.
All of these look awesome! The sprinkles and colors used definitely would be good to attract kids. However, I wold eat these myself.
wow they are great snacks yet look great also kid friendly
Thank you! Yes they are kid friendly for sure!
I love the banana dipped yogurt snacks. I would use vanilla yogurt and mini chocolate chips for dipping.
These ideas are so so cute! Definitely going to keep in mind for my next party!
Thank you!
These all look so good… and so fun! My kids would love them all!
Snack time! Thanks for the great ideas! Especially the bananas!
Cute ideas for kids.
Thank you!
Fruit Pizza looks yummy and, as it seems, does not take too much time to prepare.
It’s easy for sure!!
I’m trying to get my granddaughter to eat a little bit healthier, she does like fruit so that helps.
I’m so glad you are, healthy choices starts early!
