mixed fruit snacks

mixed fruit snacks

Can you suggest some after school snacks for my 12 yr old son?


My son has recently become "always hungry". He isn't a fruit and vege lover. I'd need some ideas of healhty snacks. Either already store made foods or snacks I can mix together. Any crackers or cookies that are low fat yet tasty. Somthing I can through together fast. Or put together and put in my purse if I have to pick him at up at school and go somewhere for awhile.

I'll looking not just for the usual snack ideas but for some unusual ones. Are there things that your children like to nibble on that other kids don't like?

Thanks for your suggestions!

Excerpt: In broad terms, a fruit is a structure of a plant that contains its seeds. The term has different meanings dependent on context. In non-technical usage, such as food preparation, fruit normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of certain plants that are sweet and edible in the raw state, such as apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, juniper berries and bananas, or the similar-looking structures in other plants, even if they are non-edible or non-sweet in the raw state, such as lemons and olives. Seed-associated structures that do not fit these informal criteria are usually called by other names, such as vegetables, pods, nut, ears and cones. In biology (botany), a "fruit" is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, mainly one or more ovaries. Taken strictly, this definition excludes many structures that are "fruits" in the common sense of the term, such as those produced by non-flowering plants (like juniper berries, which are the seed-containing female cones of conifers), and fleshy fruit-like growths that develop from other plant tissues close to the fruit (accessory fruit, or more rarely false fruit or pseudocarp), such as cashew fruits.
