Ingredients

Pick at least one option from these food groups:

  • 1-2 cups Proteins: cheese, beans, shredded cooked chicken, cooked shrimp, and/or hard-cooked eggs
  • 1-2 cups Veggies: Thinly sliced bell peppers, cucumbers, or snap peas; and/or halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1-2 cups Fruit: Halved or quartered grapes, raisins, berries, sliced melon, and/or clementine segments
  • 2-4 cups Carbohydrates: Crackers, sliced bread, Snap Pea Crisps, diced muffin
  • 1/2-1 cup Dips or sauces: Hummus, guacamole, Ranch, salsa, and the like
  • Any fun foods or desserts you want to add!

Instructions

  • Choose your ingredients.
  • Slice or prep as needed.
  • Arrange on a platter to serve this family-style or on individual plates.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use whatever you have on hand, or think kid-friendly cheese or charcuterie plate.
  • If doing it for the whole family, have a pair of kitchen scissors on hand to cut up anything that needs to be made smaller for the kids.
  • Try not to push or comment on what specifically they're eating—this is supposed to be a fun meal!
  • This sort of snack based meal also works really well to pack in a lunch—or you can pack up the leftovers into lunch boxes.
