Whether it is your week for share-a-snack at school, or you are looking to tide over tiny tummies until dinner—snack attacks can leave you starved for ideas.

Here are eight simple solutions that take snacks from drab to fab—and might even introduce some new flavors to the mix.

 We have yet to meet a kid who won’t say “pleeeease” for popsicles. Foodie blogs abound with ideas for making Pinterest-perfect pops using the Zoku Quick Pop Maker. A great way to sneak fruit into snack time, Zoku's pop maker can create rainbow striped, yogurt or flavored core pops in as little as seven minutes. For the truly pop-possessed, they even sell a Character Kit that allows for endless frozen fun. We like Hey Donna’s Blueberry and greek yogurt pop recipe as an easy-peasy snack solution—blueberries, yogurt, honey and blend. For more super cool pop recipes, click here.

We are hungry for your “feed” back! What do you serve for snack? Tell us below!
