The two pre-requisites to pack snacks for children on a picnic are that they should be portable and easy to eat, as well as delicious enough for sharing. Coming up with innovative options that are quick to assemble and also do not push the limits of being unhealthy are great factors to consider.
A homemade loaf of banana cake can be sliced and portioned for sharing; swap the sugar with other sweeteners like maple syrup or dates to make the recipe sugar-free.
Toss cooked pasta in some store-bought pesto along with shredded chicken or broccoli for a quick meal on-the-go.
A tub of hummus and fluffy-soft homemade flatbreads are perfect for eating between playing games and taking short breaks.
Bite-sized pancakes drizzled with some honey or maple syrup are a delicious sweet treat for kids to enjoy with some fresh fruit or berries.
A foolproof option for parents—these sandwiches pack a flavourful punch and are effortless to assemble.
Make these pan-fried treats with zucchini, corn or any vegetable of choice to ensure the right amount of fibre intake for children, while they’re still having fun.
Stuff a packet of tortilla wraps with cheese, beans and any protein of choice before toasting them in a pan until crispy on both sides; cut them into triangles that are easy to eat while running around.
