About Snack-tember
In September 2025, we piloted our first ever Snack-tember.
Our aim was to help children and young people (aged 5-16) make and choose healthier, more sustainable snacks.
We provided a range of resources for schools, parents/carers and school caterers to help them support children and young people to have snacks with:
- MORE vegetables and fruit
- MORE wholegrains, beans and pulses
- LESS saturated fat, salt and sugars

Recipe videos
Take a look at our recipe videos which show young people making and tasting our five ‘hero’ snack recipes:
- Fruit and oat bites
- Homemade popcorn
- Paprika tortilla chips and spring onion dip
- Beany dip and crunchy veg
- Pizza muffins
Written versions of our hero recipes, for use in school or at home, can be found below.
Those working with children and young people aged 3-16 years may like to use some of the free resources on our education website, Food - a fact of life.
