6 quick snacks in 5 minutes or less

An avocado cut in half with a knife.

You know that moment when you’ve just cleaned up breakfast… and then someone’s already asking,“Can I have a snack?”

Yeah, me too. About 14 times a day.

With summer just around the corner, the kids home all day, and snack time turning into a full-time job—I put together a list of my go-to, real-life, actually doable snacks that take five minutes or less to make.

These aren’t Pinterest-pretty. They’re mom-tested, kid-approved, and won’t leave your kitchen looking like a tornado rolled through.

👉 Think:

  • No-bake brownie bites that taste like dessert
  • DIY yogurt drinks with gut-healthy goodness
  • Frozen fruit snacks for hot afternoons
  • Nut butter on everything (because it works)
  • Snack boards that feel fancy but are secretly just leftovers on a plate

Whether you’ve got toddlers begging for bites or teens who eat like grown men (hi, same), this list will help you stop overthinking snacks—and start surviving summer snack attacks with less stress.

Grab the list here - you can save it and come back to it all summer long!
