Easy Healthy Snacks for Kids

Snack time is an important part of a child’s life. It helps curb their hunger pangs while giving them the boost they need to carry out their activities until dinner is ready. Most importantly, it helps nourish their brain after a long day at school. 


However, finding healthy snacks for kids can be a difficult task. It can even seem daunting. As parents, you might feel like you have to resort to picking up snacks you find in your local grocery store. These snacks are often heavily processed with preservatives, GMOs, and pesticides. 


That is why we are bringing you easy snack recipes that are low on cooking time, delicious, and nutritious. Our snack recipes are made with Danfe’s 100% pure and natural ingredients loaded with powerful nutrients to aid your kid’s nutrition and overall development. 


Here are 5 healthy snack recipes to keep your kids nourished throughout the day. 

Coriander-Cumin Hummus

This is a terrific way to sneak in fresh veggies and nutrient-dense foods into your kids' diet! Kids do not normally gravitate towards healthy snacks as it often has the connotation of being boring. This coriander-cumin hummus is one of the easiest healthy snack recipes you can whip up for your kids. The main ingredients include chana dal, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds. These ingredients are nutritional powerhouses loaded with dietary fibers, protein, vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. 1 cup of Chana Dal provides 54% of the daily fiber requirement. The best part is that your kids will not even be able to tell the difference between your hummus and the store-bought hummus! 


Besides being an incredibly healthy snack for kids, it also makes for an easy snack recipe that will save parents a lot of time in the kitchen. This healthy snack recipe takes 30 minutes tops. You can make it ahead in batches and serve for up to 4 days along with freshly-cut veggies, salads, and sandwiches. 

Honey-Sesame Energy Bites 

If you need a reason to let go of store-bought energy bars, this is it. Our honey sesame energy bite recipe is a no-bake healthy snack recipe that is full of powerful nutrients. These are also incredibly easy to make and do not take longer than 30 minutes! Our honey sesame energy bites are made with Danfe’s rice flour and white sesame seeds. White Sesame Seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and B vitamins. Rice Flour is an excellent source of dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, choline, and calcium. Both of these ingredients are known to improve overall health and immunity. 


Moreover, you can make this healthy snack recipe with basic ingredients. These healthy snacks can be made ahead and are perfect for an anytime pick-me-up! You can also serve this healthy snack in the morning for a boost of energy.

Whole Wheat Oats & Apple Crumble

At first glance, this easy healthy snack recipe may seem like a far-stretch. Our whole wheat oats & apple crumble recipe is a modern spin on the classic old-fashioned oats and delicious apple cobbler. We took two classic recipes - one that’s highly nutritious and most often disliked by kids and one that is incredibly delicious but not-so-healthy on the regular - and put them together. The result is an easy healthy evening snack recipe that is equally nutritious and delicious. 


This easy healthy snack contains Danfe’s buckwheat flour, white sesame seeds, kalonji seeds, and coriander seeds. These ingredients are a powerhouse of nutrients such as dietary fiber, niacin, protein, complex carbohydrates, antioxidants, vitamins, and more. These whole wheat oats & apple crumble make for a great healthy evening snack recipe that your kids will definitely enjoy! 

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Scones

This easy snack recipe is indeed yet another feel-good snack made healthy for kids. Normally scones are not considered a healthy snack for kids, but we are changing that. We make our cinnamon scones with whole wheat flour instead of the usual all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour is an excellent source of magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, niacin, and calcium, to name a few. These nutrients help improve brain function, strengthen bones, and provide energy. You can serve these healthy snacks for breakfast or pack them in your kids' lunchbox for a nutritious dessert. 

Red Lentil Chips

It is no doubt chips are one of those snacks that kids gravitate towards at all times. Store-bought chips, even the ones made with veggies, are filled with preservatives and rarely contain any nutrients that actually help improve your kids' health. That’s why we are sharing our red lentil chips recipe with you!


This snack recipe is a fantastic way to get creative in the kitchen and incorporate lentils into your kids' diet. Our red lentil chips recipe is made with Danfe’s masoor dal which is known to contain vitamin A, C, B9, and E, folic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc. The nutrients present in masoor dal help promote healthy vision, boost immunity, and support heart health. The coconut oil and sea salt help enrich the taste. This is guaranteed to taste just like any other packet of chips, except these easy healthy snacks have a high nutritional content! These red lentil chips can be enjoyed alone or served with our coriander-cumin hummus for an extra kick of nutrition.


If you are looking for a way to introduce more nutrients into your kids' diet, then these easy healthy snacks are for you. These easy snack recipes are a nutritious take on snacks your kids already love. What we have done is take classic snack recipes to the next level by incorporating nutrient-rich ingredients such as whole wheat flour, buckwheat flour, spices, and lentils. Moreover, these easy snack recipes are made using Danfe’s 100% pure and natural ingredients which means your kids are getting the best of what nature has to offer.
