String cheese is great and a good source of protein too! Also very portable.
Bagels with cream cheese.
English-muffin pizzas are great for after-school. My kids enjoy a "hot" but nutritious snack and it's easy to time them for school-bus arrival.
Baby carrots with ranch or creamy Italian salad dressing as a "dip."
"Make your own trail mix" that the kids can help with. 1 cup each of:
Cheerios/Rice Chex/Corn Chex type cereal
Chocolate chips or M&Ms (these are neater!) or Reeses Pieces (also neater)
Raisins or other dried fruit
Granola clusters
Roasted peanuts
Banana chips
Soy nuts
Mini pretzels
Mini marshmallows
Mix it all in a big container. It's great for packing in lunchboxes or for afterschool snacks. Kids like to help make it and they can choose their favorite ingredients to include.
