20 + Easy and Healthy Snacks for Teens!

08/03/18 | Recipes, Uncategorized

If your teens are anything like mine then you know that they are always hungry. These Easy and Healthy Snacks for Teens are items that I try to always have on hand so that my teens can just grab them and go!

Easy and Healthy Snacks for teens that everyone will love!

We joke the my son is a hobbit because he eats multiple meals a day–first breakfast, second breakfast, first lunch, second lunch etc. but as a grown boy who swims competitively and runs daily he needs the extra calories to build muscle and keep up his endurance.  My teen daughter, while she doesn’t eat quite as much,  needs healthy snacks and meals just as much to keep her satisfied–because a hungry teen girl isn’t a good thing!


Did you know that studies show that teens need between 1500-2500 calories per day, depending on their activity level?  Add in teen athletes and they need every more.  It can be very easy for teens to fall into a rut and eat junk food but teens need healthy options to help them grow and thrive. Plus, when they eat a meal that is  full of protein it keeps them satisfied longer.

With busy teen athletes they need lots of food to fuel them up for practice so I try and have lots of homemade, easy snacks on hand.  These are some of our favorites!

I love watching my teen play golf for his high sch I love watching my teen play golf for his high school team. It truly is where he is comfortable, but a busy day of school AND a winning golf match means one thing—a HUNGRY TEEN! And a hungry teen means you better have a quick snack on hand! When you need something filling and QUICK, nothing is better that a glass of ice-cold milk and a bowl of cereal!

As parents, we are always looking for ways to FUEL THEIR DRIVE with @lehighvalleydairy. 

In this back-to-school promotion, Lehigh Valley will award 18 grants ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 to high schools in the communities it serves, including Philadelphia, Scranton, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Dollars can be used to update a sports field, revamp the school gym, purchase much-needed athletic equipment, or whatever the greatest need is!

You can help your local Scranton area High School win just by:

- Buy Lehigh Valley Milk at your local retailer (Available at retailers like Target and Giant)
- Snap a photo of the receipt - Upload your receipt here: https://fueltheirdrive.com/Lehigh
- And vote for your favorite high school! 
- Remember to upload and vote as often as you buy milk - each vote is a chance for the school to win!
