5-Minute Snack Hacks for Moms Who’ve Got 5 Million Other Things to Do

Let’s be honest: you don’t have time for elaborate snack boards shaped like woodland creatures most of the time. You’ve got a little one to wrangle, stuff to organize, and a to-do list that’s threatening to eat you alive.

Enter: 5-minute snack hacks.

1. Fruit + Nut Butter Drizzle: Slice whatever fruit you’ve got (apple, banana, whatever’s not mushy), drizzle with nut butter, and boom—instant snack hero.
2. DIY Trail Mix: Toss together whatever’s in the pantry—nuts, seeds, dried fruit, maybe a few chocolate chips. Fancy? No. Effective? Yes.
3. Cheese & Crackers with a Twist: Throw in some sliced cucumbers or cherry tomatoes to balance it out. They’ll think it’s gourmet. You’ll know it took 30 seconds.
4. Energy Bites: Mix oats, nut butter, honey, and mini chocolate chips. Roll into balls. Chill them. Store them. Done.
5. Yogurt Parfait-ish: Layer yogurt, granola, and fruit. Or just throw it all in a bowl and let them mix.
