Kids have a busy school life. They wake up early and spend a good few hours in school every day. As they study and learn, their energy level must be on point, so they can concentrate on their lessons and participate in different classroom activities.

 

To provide your kids with the energy they need, serve them the right kind of food for school. Healthy, quick, and easy meals that are also exciting and appetizing are the best ways to take care of your kids’ nutrition needs while in school.

 

Get your inspiration from NESTLÉ® All Purpose Cream’s collection of energy-giving snack recipes:

Sandwiches are one of the most delectable snacks for children; not to mention, they’re also the easiest to prepare during your busy weekday mornings. 

 

You can choose from a wide variety of bread, meat, and vegetables to prepare a sandwich that will provide the right nourishment for your children and make them full. Say, you’ve already made their favorite peanut butter sandwich or tuna and cheese sandwich on certain days of the week, so why not go for something like our Cravingly Creamy California Crab Sandwich


Assemble bread slices with kani, sweet ham, mango and cucumber slices, and some walnuts for an energy-packed snack, slathered with a rich and creamy dressing made with NESTLÉ® All Purpose Cream that will make the sandwich even tastier for your little one.

Your kids’ energy level won’t easily drop when you include fruit bars in their lunch boxes. These are similar to energy bars made from cereals that athletes and people on-the-go munch on for a quick energy fix.

 

Our version of energy bars, called Fantastically Fruity Fruitcake Bars, will ensure that your kids will stay alert and active in the classroom. Cut them into squares, so that your kids can easily chew on a few during their break time.

Try our Amazing Apple Cookies, which uses the natural sweetness of apple, so you can go easy on adding sugar into the recipe.  What’s also amazing with serving these cookies to your preschooler or older children is that you can bake them in bite-sized pieces, so they’re really appealing for those who want to enjoy their snack time in school.

Indulge your kid in comfort food that tastes like their favorite meaty burger—except that it’s not fast food! Our Super Duper Delish Sloppy Joes truly lives up to its name because it looks inviting and satisfies the taste buds. The recipe uses beef as its main ingredient, which is very nutritious, as it is a good source of protein, vitamins, and essential fatty acids like omega-3s.

 

Fill up your child’s lunch box with the sloppy joe, so that your kid won’t have to wait until the end of the day to get home and have another serving of this delicious snack.

 

  1. Easy Paella Burrito

This snack combines two international dishes—paella rice dish from Spain and stuffed burrito from Mexico.

 

Whether you have seafood or chicken paella, you can use it as stuffing for the burrito. Our Easy Paella Burrito recipe makes for a school snack that is as filling as a complete meal as it includes rice, vegetables, meat, and cheese. These ingredients can supply your kids’ need for food that gives them energy, vitamins, and other essential nutrients.

 

Meanwhile, you can save a lot on your budget since you can just use your leftover paella, buy some tortilla wrap, and cook up some creamy garlic sauce to drizzle the burrito.
