[@lil_wolf705]

I love how excited he gets with every bite or sip ^^

[@thehappypear]

It's exciting food! 😍😋👌

[@kaminidandapani9047]

Growing up in south India, I never tired of the traditional snacks from that part of the world - idli, dosai and vadai, chock full of lentil goodness!

[@thehappypear]

Lucky you! All sound so GOOD!!! 😍😋👌

[@JustusRudolfFilms]

Hummus on anything is the best snack after uni!

[@JustusRudolfFilms]

you should actually try to make the mini pizzas with hummus instead of pesto. Its fab!

[@thehappypear]

Hummus makes EVERYTHING!!! 😄🙌😘

[@elfenkinderundschattenwesen]

Oh yes, hummus and veggies yum! Hummus goes great with tomatoes and seeds as well!

[@charluvsyou]

I am obsessed with rice cakes after uni!! I put a nut cheese and a sun dried tomato paste on them and it is the best thing ever after a long stressful day of class!!

[@BucketBrain1]

Sun-dried tomato paste?! Where??? Or what brand? The sun-dried tomatoes I have access to are the ones I make my own :/ (cherry tomatoes sliced in half, placed on oven tray with salt and pepper, and a few drops of extra-virgin olive oil; 'cooked' at between 120-140C with oven door ajar)

[@thehappypear]

Absolutely dreamy! 😄😘🙌

[@MrPaulswife]

Some suggestions for breaktime at school would be great. Nothing smelly or too weird and easily portable.

[@thehappypear]

Cool will try em out! 😄😘🙌

[@ginduf]

when i was a kid i used to eat tomato and mayo sandwiches... now, i usually pre-steam potatoes and/or pre-bake sweet potatoes and keep them in the fridge in containers and i'll eat them plain or with hot sauce or chop a few things up with it to make potato salad, cut them make home fries, heat them in toaster oven to crisp the skin and eat them hot... easy, quick, versatile.

[@thehappypear]

Ah you're just fab! 😄😘🙌

[@mia2030]

my favourite is David!

[@kirstyhunter7317]

I used to love having leftovers for afternoon tea.

[@thehappypear]

Nice one Kirsty!

[@veganinchina]

Always an oldie at heart... I had tea a lot after school!

[@thehappypear]

Hahaha perfection! 😄😘🙌

[@manthan_pathak]

The complete after school meal. Full of nutrients and looks ultra delicious. It looks easy to cook

[@thehappypear]

It's pretty easy no one has time to faff around the kitchen when they get in. :D

[@TheBobbysPerspective]

You Guys are The Best! 💪🌱

[@thehappypear]

Big love Bobby 😄🙌😘

[@sonja836]

Apple with almond butter or banana with peanut butter 😍

[@ncarrasco96]

Sonja Vujović YAAAS, BANANA WITH PEANUT BUTTER 💜

[@thehappypear]

So GOOD 😋😍👌

[@theveganpsychonaut]

I find drinking smoothies really energizing after a long work day.

[@thehappypear]

Aren't they just! 😄🙌👍

[@BucketBrain1]

Chocolate smoothie idea (my own): ripe (I prefer very ripe) bananas (1 large or 2 small, or to taste) 1tbs raw cocoa powder 1tbs Dutched (but high quality) cocoa powder handful of spinach 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1tbs flax seeds or chia seeds 6 almonds (give or take) (optional) frozen organic blueberries or sour cherries (unsweetened) (optional, if you like chocolate-mint flavour: mint leaves and/or peppermint oil extract) Yes, I did just inadvertently make my own almond milk by throwing in some almonds. Think about that logically: more protein, good fats, fiber, etc. compared to manufactured almond/other milk; and lower cost; and increased shelf-life; and no fuss. Store-bought oat and almond milk is basically oats/almonds, water, some stabilisers, emulsifiers, flavours, salt, maybe some added vitamins, some sugar (or alternative), etc.. Save your money, just throw in some bloody oats/almonds :P

[@thehappypear]

Fab will try that out! 😘🙌

[@akindofmagick]

Brownies. Apple slices with peanut butter. Apple cider in season. Leftover pancakes with butter!

[@thehappypear]

All sound yum! 😍😋👌

[@Andreacarucci]

Excelente!! Enhorabuena!!

[@thehappypear]

Gracias 😄😘🙌

[@laughkris101]

Bagels were definitely my go to after school

[@thehappypear]

Brill! 😍😋👌

[@BBHubbs]

Killin' it, as usual! The fruit smoothies are always a winner and chocolate milk... Who can say "no" to that?! Thanks for the ideas.

[@thehappypear]

Exactly! Glad you enjoyed 😍😋👌

[@MrDaer91]

Avocado on toast was my go to snack after school. Love these ideas.

[@thehappypear]

Very sophisticated! 😄😍🙌

[@jaketecca1930]

My favorite has always been hummus and pita as well as any fruit my mom had bought

[@thehappypear]

Gorgeous! 😍😋👌

[@SoundzCool]

After school snacking on Cruesli, love that stuff.

[@thehappypear]

Hahaha never heard of it! 😄🙌😂

[@mnmarsch]

mine was also cereal!!

[@thehappypear]

Such a staple meal for a growing person.

[@DenBoer93]

Same for me, cereal was my go to after school snack!

[@thehappypear]

You have good taste Mitch 👌😜

[@tewhetuthompson6348]

Yeah cereal was always my go to snack too - weetbix and milo

[@thehappypear]

Nice one! 😄🙌🙌

[@Stachaism]

Rice cakes with peanut butter topped with sliced banana......bliss sometimes I just have it for dinner as well......and breakfast...or until the rice cakes run out

[@thehappypear]

Oooh love it! 😄🙌😘

[@ashleymalone7065]

I so wish you guys would open a store in America. Love love your cookbook and channel. Keep up the good work!

[@thehappypear]

Ah we'd love to one day! 😋😍👌

[@Synchronicitizen]

Pot Pies or Pop Tarts were satisfying and quick snacks for after school (loved crust!).

[@Pamela-ro8vh]

Synchronicitizen yes! Pot pies! The cheaper the better! Lol!

[@thehappypear]

A nice hearty warm crust is so tempting after school 👌😋🙌

[@veganistamama1627]

Great video! My son will love these ideas. My favorite snack when I was a child, was graham crackers with chocolate frosting.

[@thehappypear]

Def let us know what he thinks! 😄😘🙌

[@justingooding647]

I love your "pizzettas" I make something similar often. My 'go-to' after school/work snack was usually something Mexican, like a quick quesadilla or tasty taco.

[@thehappypear]

Delicious! 😍😋👌

[@onedandylion]

I would have veges and dip waiting for me after school with a glass of tomato juice... and sometimes pita and hummus. I've been vegan since I was eight years old... When my grandmother was staying she would make cocoa-cornflakes bars. So yum! I always have a tasty snack waiting for my little girl - crudites and dip, fruit, raw crackers, olives, bliss balls, and sometimes mini falafals with hummus or sweet chilli sauce wrapped in lettuce leaves. It makes me so happy to continue the after school ritual and my daughter's friends love coming home with her. Some of them are even burgeoning vegans now. :) I love the mini pizza idea...

[@thehappypear]

Ah your so brilliant! Keep up the brilliant work 😋😍👌

[@Muireann93]

That chocolate milk looks amazingggg

[@thehappypear]

Tasted it too! 😍😋👌

[@TheJenedie]

Those look yum. My favorite after school snack was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

[@thehappypear]

The true American classic 😋😍👌

[@annamiller793]

When I blend strawberries I always put them in whole with the green parts. You can't taste it at all, saves time and means you have less waste.
