Healthy St. Patrick’s Day Snacks – Get Kids Excited About Green

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Healthy Snacks that kids will love. We have the easy appetizer recipes for you, PLUS tips to save you money too! #ad

I love holiday parties. Don’t you? Holiday parties are a great way to celebrate and have fun themed food. Party foods and snacks don’t have to be sugar laden desserts, candy, and junk food. You can serve delicious healthy foods that people, even kids, will eat and LOVE. Recently, I got in the kitchen with my kids and created these 4 fun and healthy St. Patrick’s Day snacks.

All these St. Patrick’s Day recipes are healthy, contain no sugar or artificial colors, and are really delicious!St. Patrick’s Day is a fun food holiday. It’s all about celebrating Irish culture, food, and drink. It’s the one time of the year that you are sure to find green tinted food and green drinks at most every party. Unfortunately, most of those green foods will have artificial food coloring to which I say, “No, Thank You.” I don’t use artificial food coloring and avoid it in any product I buy. The recipes I’m sharing with you may not be true Irish food, but they have fun Irish details like the shamrock and the leprechaun’s rainbow.  Plus, these snacks are green, made so from natural sources.

Shamrock Pizzas - English muffins with bell pepper shaped like a shamrock

We’ve created Shamrock Pizzas with bell pepper shamrocks and pesto sauce, naturally green cilantro hummus with fresh veggies and ALDI brand pita crackers, and Avocado Deviled Eggs that are naturally dyed green too. St. Patrick’s Day wouldn’t be complete without the leprechaun at the end of the rainbow. So we have rainbow colored fruit skewers as our sweet treat.

I’ve saved the sweet treat for last. Instead of a sugary dessert, fruit skewers are a healthy treat that kids of all ages enjoy.  Plus, the rainbow colors are beautiful on the table. Your kids will love to eat these right off the stick. (Note: If you are serving these to young children, you can cut the sharp point off each skewer.)

    These St. Patrick’s Day snacks sound amazing! I love that they’re healthy and don’t use artificial colors. The shamrock pizzas and rainbow fruit skewers sound super fun. I’m definitely going to try making the avocado deviled eggs. Do you think they’d be good with a little extra paprika for some extra color? Can’t wait to see more of these creative recipes!
