Healthy Snack Recipes For Kids

Looking for healthy snacks for kids? We’ve got a list for you. Of course, you want to raise your kids as healthy as possible, but sometimes that can be difficult. Kids love sweets, but it’s always better not to give them too many.

These snacks are made with natural ingredients and contain no refined sugar. In addition, most snacks are rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats!

1) Chocolate and Hazelnut Balls

This recipe is straightforward, with only three ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • Use your favorite sugar-free chocolate chips
  • Roasted hazelnuts
  • Sugar-free, kid-friendly chocolate spread

Freeze The Chocolate Spread

This is essential to make it easier to make the balls. Freeze the chocolate spread in the entire container for 30 minutes.

Smash The Roasted Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts should also be chopped. This will be the crunchy coating between the chocolate spread layers. If you do not have a food processor, we recommend purchasing one to make this step faster.

Chill The Chocolate Balls

Now you can start preparing the balls. Remove the frozen chocolate spread from the freezer and start forming the balls.

The chocolate spread will melt during this process. This is why, once the balls are made, they should be placed on a silicone mat on a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes more.

Add The Hazelnuts

Once the hazelnut balls are entirely cooled, start adding the hazelnuts. To do this, you simply have to roll the balls in the chopped hazelnuts. Chill in the freezer for another 15 minutes.

Let cool slightly, and it’s ready to be eaten!
