Second Chance to Dream: Make Ahead Back to School Snack Ideas #makeahead #backtoschool #snacks

My daughter asked if I would do a round up of snack ideas for school for my granddaughters.  She has a really hard time coming up with healthy snacks that are peanut free. I told her I was up for that challenge so thought I’d share them with you as well.  Like I’ve mentioned in my posts on Make Ahead Breakfasts 2 and  Sandwich-less Lunches 2  I like to be able to make things ahead.  My goal is to take a day a month and make up my breakfasts, lunches, and snacks.   That way we will be able to grab and go.  Now fresh fruit and veggies won’t last a month but they will last a week so I’ll bag those up on Sun. afternoon.  The ultimate goal is organization! I hope you find something from this list of Make Ahead Back to School Snacks that you can use.

Here is a list of nut free snacks for those peanut free rooms.
Good even if your child doesn't have an allergy. Can use as a reference for yours kids friends, etc. Lots of people don't understand that just because the word peanut isn't in the name of the food it can still contain peanuts!! When you have a young peanut allergy child in public school/various activities, this is very scary.

    Great snack ideas. I like anything that makes our morning routine run smoother. Not having to make snacks in the morning is awesome.

    I have been looking all over for recipe’s like these and now I have finally found some! I am always looking for treats to put on my blog too! A great back to school treat is frozen granola cookies! They are gluten free and nut free! All you have to do is mix your granola and yogurt together put it in the freezer and then when their ready take them out! Thanks for sharing all these recipes! <3
