What snacks do your kids love? Sweet and salty, chocolate, fruit, or gluten-free? No matter which one they reach for, there is something for everyone with these healthy high fiber snacks that kids love.

If you’ve been around for a while, you know I’m pretty serious about snack time. So serious that I wrote an entire cookbook dedicated to the Best Homemade Snacks on the Planet! It has over 200 healthy homemade snacks that kids and adults will love.
But today, our focus is high fiber snacks and why they’re important.
Why You Need High Fiber Snacks
I’m sure you are aware of the benefits to a high fiber diet, how it regulates our system and helps to keep us fuller longer. Depending on age, kids should get anywhere from 19 – 26 grams of fiber a day which is found in a variety of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains, but let’s be honest, kids aren’t always excited to grab carrot sticks at snack time.
However fruit and whole grains, that’s a different story.
High Fiber Snacks for Kids
The best high fiber snacks for kids are the ones they will want to eat! I’m not talking about chips, mini cakes, or popsicles but you can make yummy snacks with fruit and whole grains. Whether it’s High Fiber Chocolate Bites or DIY Fruit Cups these can be prepped ahead and packed into a lunchbox or kept in the fridge for an afternoon pick-me-up.
Favorite High Fiber Fruits for Kids to Snack
- Apples
1 medium apple has 4 grams of fiber. Slice and serve with Coconut Peanut Butter Dip for an extra flavor boost. - Bananas
A medium banana comes with 4 grams of fiber and can be used in smoothies, cookies, or sliced and topped over ½ cup Greek yogurt for a high fiber, high protein snack, under 200 calories. - Berries
Strawberries have about 4 grams of fiber per serving while raspberries pack a whopping 8 grams of fiber per cup. Use the two to make a fruit salad or berry parfait. - Prunes
They’re delicious, versatile for recipes, and each serving has 3 grams of fiber. Enjoy them as is or my favorite way, topped with almond butter.

High Fiber Snacks for Kids

Ingredients
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup dried prunes
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter , or nut-free butter
- 1 tablespoon honey, (optional)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop your favorite chocolate protein powder, (28g scoop)
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, (optional)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, blend oats into a flour-like texture. Add prunes, peanut butter, honey, cocoa powder, and protein powder, and process mixture until combined, making sure to stop once or twice to scrape the sides. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a tablespoon or two of water. Once the mixture has a sand-like consistency and it adheres to itself when pinching, it’s ready to roll it out.
- Remove the blades from the food processor and fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Begin rolling out the dough by hand, about a tablespoon at a time and place bites into a container. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.
