Fruits and veggies
No matter how much you fill your fridge with fruits and veggies, you or your kids won’t dare pick them up because you’d still have to peel and cut. So, cut up some of the fruits and vegetables and keep them in plastic containers so that they are ready to eat.

Homemade Granola Bars
These are healthier alternatives than cookies and cakes. It is still sweet and crunchy but if you are to make it yourself, you can choose what to include in your bars. You can go for whole grains and some dried fruits. Try to keep sugar on the low level to make your granola bars healthier.
