The Perfect Snacks for Fall: Apple Cinnamon Muffin, Apple Sauce, Roasted Pumpkin Seeds and Veggie Chips
Fall snacks need to do more than look seasonal—they need to hold kids over, not spike and crash their energy, and work for school or work days, or when on long hikes and refreshments are such a reviving tool! This snack box leans into familiar fall flavors while covering the basics: fiber, healthy fats, and steady carbs. Everything here is easy to prep ahead, travels well, and doesn’t rely on ultra-processed fillers.
Applesauce
A gentle, easy-to-digest source of carbohydrates and hydration. Applesauce contributes soluble fiber, which supports digestion and helps kids feel satisfied without being heavy.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
A nutrient-dense crunch packed with plant protein, iron, zinc, and healthy fats. These support growth, immune function, and longer-lasting fullness—especially important for active kids.
Veggie Chips
A crunchy element that satisfies the “snack craving” while adding variety and trace minerals from vegetables. Pairing them with protein and fiber in the box helps prevent the typical chip-only energy crash.
Apple Cinnamon Muffin
Follow my recipe here.
These baked muffins bring fiber from apples, spelt and whole-wheat flours and slow-digesting carbs to support steady energy. Cinnamon adds flavor without added sugar overload, and the muffin format makes it filling enough to bridge long gaps between meals.
