Summer break has already arrived for many of you (and is quickly approaching for others) so I wanted to round up a few of my snack plates in a blog post if you’re looking for some fun inspiration to feed those hungry kiddos all summer long. I also save all of these to a Snack Plate highlight on my Instagram page.
These snack plates are fun for me to create and the kids get wildly excited to see what I’ve whipped up each day. And to be honest, our snack boards have really helped us cut down on the number of Doritos bags that are grabbed from the pantry after school each day too.
I re-use a lot of the same snack foods over and over to keep things simple. Also, these 6 oz ramekins are my favorite bowls for separating some of the snacks. I usually serve my snacks on a porcelain tray, but if you prefer a melamine platter, these are my favorite!
STRAWBERRIES + TRADER JOE’S FIG CRISPS + ORANGE SLICES + GRAPES
STRAWBERRIES + GRAPES + BLACKBERRIES + BUGLES
ANIMAL CRACKERS + PEANUT BUTTER + APPLE SLICES + CANTALOUPE
CAULIFLOWER + CUCUMBER + GRAPES + HONEYDEW (W/ SIDE OF PRIMAL KITCHEN RANCH)
PIRATES BOOTY + APPLE SLICES + MANDARIN ORANGES
PEARS + ORANGES + GRAPES + WHITE CHEDDAR CHEESE PUFFS
ANIMAL CRACKERS + PEARS + RASPBERRIES
ANIMAL CRACKERS + GRAPES + CANTALOUPE + WATERMELON
SKINNY POP RICE CAKES + APPLES + ANIMAL CRACKERS + ALMOND BUTTER MIXED WITH NUTELLA
Alright, I hope you found some fun inspiration! If you make one of these snack plates, tag me on IG! These plates make me so happy to see! And if you have any snack plate food recommendations, share those too!
