50 Low Sugar Snacks for Kids

Posted on: January 15th, 2016 by thekensingtonstudio

Isn’t it crazy how the more sugar you eat, the more sugar you WANT to eat!  This happened to me recently.  It started innocent enough.  I had a treat one day, “because I deserve it”.  Then, the next day it turned into two.  Until a few days later, I found myself scouring my cupboard for sugar!  So, one day- I decided, no sugar for a day.  After a day, that mad craving had weakened significantly! Finding low sugar snacks for kids can be easy and still be delicious.  If you keep this list (print it here), you’ll always have something ready to feed your little ones.50 Low Sugar Snacks for Kids.

Right now we have over 866 snack recipes (and over 3000 total recipes) for healthy meal ideas. Check out the details here.I gathered together all the snacks that my kids like to eat, and even added the grams of sugar next to them! This is for an average serving of course, and some may be dependent on the brand you use.
