Snacks for the Whole Sports Team

One of the most challenging parts about organized sports is snack time. While we all want our kids to eat nutritious foods, especially after a tough game, we have to balance that with what the kids o the team will actually eat.

It’s a difficult challenge, which is why I pulled together this list of ideas with a balance between healthy snacks, homemade and some kid-favorite snacks you can get at the store. Because most important of all, is that they’re refueling after their game.

Homemade Snacks for After Kid’s Sports

Here are some snack ideas that have nutritional value while making your kids happy at the same time:

  • No-Bake Energy Bites
  • Watermelon Pops
  • Homemade Fruit Cups
  • No-Bake Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Granola Bars
  • Banana Chips
  • Strawberry fruit leather
  • Hawaiian sliders
  • Trail mix
  • Hummus & Carrots Bento Snack Box
  • Fruit kabobs
  • Apple Chips
  • Homemade lunchables
  • Finger sandwiches with cold cuts
  • Whole-grain bagels with cream cheese
  • Greek yogurt banana bread chunks

Store-Bought Sports Snacks for Kids

Want to swing by the store and grab something that will feed the whole team? Here are some ideas!

  • String cheese
  • Orange slices
  • Cut-up watermelon
  • Apple slices
  • Grapes
  • Fruit snacks
  • Bananas
  • Fruit tray
  • Otter pops
  • Cheez its
  • Goldfish
  • Fruit snacks
  • Kind granola bars
  • Beef jerky packs
  • Crunchy granola bars
  • Slim Jims
  • Apple sauce pouches
  • Pretzels
  • Lara bars
  • Gogurt
  • P3 Protein packs
  • Z bars
  • Sun Chips
  • Pirates booty
  • Popcorn

Team Drinks for After Sports

Keeping everyone hydrated is a must! Here are a few ideas for different drinks you can bring for the team depending on age, budget and preferences.

  • Gatorade packs
  • Capri Sun
  • Body Armour
  • Chocolate milk
  • Sunny D
  • Honest juice

One of the best things you can do is to make a little snack pack with brown paper bags. Include a small Gatorade, a fruit, and a treat or two like chips or fruit roll-ups. That way, there’s something for everyone, no matter what their preference.

What are some of your favorite after sports snacks to feed growing kids?
