**Full Disclosure: This post is brought to you by Shamrock Farms. All opinions are my own.
Can you believe summer is coming to a close? It feels like my kids and I haven’t really taken full advantage of the time off, but we’ve spent time playing with friends, planning a (winter) road trip, watching movies and playing in the kitchen. As we gear up for back-to-school, I have been looking for easy recipes that my boys can make and eat without much help from me.
Shamrock Farms aims to inspire busy moms and dads by creating Roxie’s Midday Menu. The recipes are protein-packed, simple to make and pair perfectly with Shamrock Farms on-the-go mmmmilk varieties.
James & Colin recreated three of the snacks on Roxie’s Midday Menu.
We started with Banana Rolls.
James is my banana kid, so these were his favorite.
Then we made No Bake Energy Bites.
I really changed this recipe up because I forgot to buy oats and we don’t like coconut so we used granola instead. They might look ugly, but these No Bake Energy Bites are really tasty!
And ended with Healthy S’mores.
Apples & Peanut Butter is one of my favorite snacks so it was fun to make these healthy s’mores with my boys. Colin had an incredibly hard time peanut buttering his apples but it was a success in the end.
We changed a few ingredients to fit the kids’ desires but all three recipes were a hit! The No Bake Energy Bites have been requested more than once since we made them so I’d say those were the favorite.
Three additional recipes kids can make and eat without much adult help are Fruit Bars, Fruit Kabobs and Protein Popsicle Smoothies.
The beverage of choice for all six of the snacks mentioned is Shamrock Farms on-the-go mmmmilks. Shamrock Farms milks are pure, fresh and nutritious with no added hormones. Each variety (whole regular milk, 2% chocolate milk and 2% strawberry milk) offers more than 25% of the daily recommended value of protein. They are available at select Walmart stores nationwide. Look for them in the display cases in the dairy aisle for $1 each.

Oooh, I am diggin’ those healthy s’mores. Both of my boys LOVE to get involved in the kitchen – in any capacity. I will have to put them to work making those s’mores 😉
Oh, this is awesome! I think we’d love the apple and peanut butter the best!
I love the apple donuts – apple and peanut butter is one of my favorite lunches. I have it all the time.
Those all sound like great snacks. With school quickly approaching, we need easy snacks for the afternoon.
Exactly! I like that so many of these can be made ahead of time!
The peanut butter apples would definitely be the favorite at our house. Adding the granola is a nice touch too! 😀
I love these simple recipes. My son is 5 years old and I’ve been trying to teach him basic kitchen skills. These are perfect for that.
