After school snacks can be quite boring, right?

Sometimes I wait until the last minute to even think about what my kids are going to eat after school. They always come home ravenous so I know it's going to have to be something they like and will actually eat.

Snacks should also have something with protein and fiber in them to help keep them full. Hopefully the snack is something semi-nutritious and healthy.

If you are looking for other healthy snack recipes, you will love these No Bake Cranberry Almond Energy Balls, Roasted Chickpea Trail Mix and definitely these Low Carb Coconut Fudge Bars!

These would be extra delicious with some Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even some Spiked Apple Cider!

Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!

Why You Should Make This Apple Pear Nachos Recipe

Parents just have to do the best we can when it comes to feeding our kids. You want to be the parent that has a delicious and nutritious, homemade snack waiting for your kids when they get home. Chances are (if you are like me) you barely had time to get dressed.

These "nachos" may look fancy, but honestly it's just the cute presentation. It's only sliced apples and pears with some melted nut butter and sugar free chocolate chips.

Don't sell yourself short, they are fun to eat and packed with nutrition and fiber so I call that a huge win.

These adorable nachos are in my cookbook, The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook,  in the "Kids" Chapter. These are a perfectly well-balanced after school snack.  

These nachos are easy, healthy and fun to eat too and a great way to mix up your fruit snacks for the kids.

Recipe Tips

Get creative!  Use what you already have in the house to make life easier.  

Make it with different fruits and nut butters.  Your kids will thank you!  

It is always good to mix things up, especially picky kids that get stuck in their routines and eat the same snack every day. They might be stubborn but it's always smart to keep reintroducing them to things they won't try. 

You never know when they just might surprise you. All of a sudden one day they try something that has been introduced to them a hundred times.

I am not saying they will definitely like it, but just simply trying something new is a huge victory.

Think sliced bananas, berries, pineapple, mango and peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, cashew butter, cinnamon vanilla pecan butter ...see what I mean?

I used dried cranberries to add a little color, but I usually let  my kids pick out their favorite toppings.

It will be our secret that these are so ridiculously simple to prepare. Then when they have some ice cream after dinner, you can feel good knowing they ate these nutritious nachos instead a bag of chips.

That, my friends, is called balance.
