Indian snacks for kids – Over 80 + best delicious evening healthy snacks suitable for kids & grown-ups. These are best to serve as a mid morning or evening snack, in the school box or after school for kids. This collection of healthy snacks recipes will help you decide your kids’ snack menu. If you are a health freak like me and trying to prevent refined foods and fried foods, then this post is absolutely for you.
Staying true to the term Snack, please keep your kids’ snack portions small and serve these only in between meals as a refreshment. Do not serve these as a main meal.
I had developed and tried all these recipes for my kids. Over the years these have been a favorite with them. Hope your kids will love them too.
This collection of healthy Indian snack recipes includes lots of ladoos, Indian sandwich recipes, baked and pan fried snacks, quick chaats and salads. I have also included some pasta recipes too which can be served after school. For a wider choice you can check this complete collection of snacks.
Let us start with these energy booster ladoos. Check out 32 easy ladoo recipes here. Do choose the ones made from jaggery or use organic jaggery.
For ease of understanding I have divided the entire post in sections.

Very cool recipes. I really enjoy using all the many alternative flours that are found in Indian markets near where I live. Gram is especially beneficial and useful, but it takes some getting used to.

Hi Paul
