Another big challenge in any mom’s life is how to keep kids happy, energized and engaged in the time between school and dinner. Kids get hungry after school, but you don’t want to ruin their appetite for the evening meal. You also don’t have a lot of time in everything you have to get done for your own afternoon schedule.
Black & Decker makes after-school snacking fast, easy and nutritious with a whole range of appliances that help you make snacks at the touch of a button. Your kids get hot and fresh snack options and you get done in a snap so you can tackle the rest of your day.
The Best Smoothie Bar in Town
Fruit smoothies make great snacks because they’re filling, full of vitamins and nutrients, and ready in a snap. Just use your Black & Decker blender, like the featured BL2020, and make all their favorite smoothies with fresh or frozen fruit at the touch of a button.
You can also add a little milk and ice cream for a fruit shake or use juice, sorbet and ice to make a slushie. You can mix and match different fruits for a different taste every day that kids can’t wait to get home to try. The extra serving of fruit will also give them a little extra energy to finish their homework and get through the rest of the day.
Hot Snacks in a Snap
Looking for a fast and easy hot food option? Look no further than your Black & Decker digital countertop oven. A one-touch frozen snack button lets you make chicken nuggets, bagel pizzas and all their favorite snacks without any hassle or guesswork. You can also use the one-touch cookies option to make a sweeter treat or the pizza button if they have a few friends over to share a slice after school. With all the one-touch options, you can keep the kids from foraging in the fridge and still make sure they are filled up until the family sits down together.
Give Them Extra Energy with Fresh Juice
For a more nutritious snack option that’s still filling enough to tide them over until dinner, try mixing up a pitcher of fresh juice at home. A citrus juicer lets you do fresh OJ, grapefruit juice and all your favorite citrus juices in a snap. This is particularly good for moms of athletes that need an extra burst of energy after a long practice.
