21 Ideas for a Simple Healthy Snack Supper

I didn’t coin the phrase Snack Supper, I got the idea from Vicki Farris’ book A Mom Just Like You which I highly recommend. Im pretty sure she brought it up for lunches on busy homeschool days, but we use it mostly for supper on days when we don’t want to cook, on days when it is just too hot to cook, and on days when we have lots and lots of fresh produce that needs eaten quick. We focus on quick, easy and HEALTHY Snack ideas which together make a fun and healthy meal!

The Snack Supper is a great way to get a meal to the table fast. Veggies, fruit, protein and even a few carbs… This is very kid-friendly eating and your kids of getting lots of fresh and raw fruits and veggies. It’s a win-win!  Here are some of  things we use in our snack suppers at the Blevins house.

1. Deviled eggs (Learn how to make deviled eggs fast and easy here.)
