Life gets busy and days can get filled up in a hurry. Work, school, and social events can take up so much time, and it can be easy to forget something important. That includes when it’s your designated post-game snack day for your athlete’s team.
When you’re in charge of team snacks, you probably want to do your part to make game day as fun as possible. Maybe your turn is coming up soon and you haven’t considered what to bring. Or, maybe you need more team snack ideas that are a happy mixture of wholesome and delicious. No problem! Here are a few team snack ideas to get you started.
LK Smoke Show Beef Sticks
Savory and ready to go, LK Smoke Show Beef Sticks are hard to beat as a team snack. They’re seasoned, smoky, and individually wrapped for convenience. Each beef stick is certified free from the top 9 allergens and contains 8 grams of protein. Plus, they’re made with 100% grass-fed and finished beef and don’t contain any strange ingredients you can’t pronounce!
When you want a wholesome choice, beef sticks are a snack that can help satisfy post-game hunger. Kids and adults alike come back to them over and over!
Orange Slices
This is a classic team snack many people know and love. Oranges have been a staple at soccer, football, little league baseball, and many other sporting events for generations. They’re an American tradition!
Oranges are simple, invigorating, and juicy, making them a fun treat for after the game and even during mid-game breaks. Depending on the season, you could have a large variety of options, from your standard naval oranges all the way to those adorable little clementines and tangerines.
Protein Balls
These tasty bite-sized treats are always a hit! While you can purchase them from stores, they’re much more economical to make at home. If you’d prefer to go the route of making homemade protein balls for a team snack, there are plenty of recipes that call for minimal ingredients and little to no baking.
Protein balls can be created with as few as three ingredients. All you need are rolled oats, peanut butter (or other nut and seed butter alternatives), and your favorite protein powder. This makes for a satisfying treat that will keep people happy while helping to restore their energy.
String Cheese
For portability and ease, it’s tough to beat string cheese. This crowd-pleaser comes in individually wrapped portions, which makes for convenient transport. But beyond the practical advantages, people love it because it’s fun to eat!
String cheese is unique, but not just for its pleasing flavor profile. What makes string cheese special is that it’s one of the few foods that it’s socially acceptable for people to play with. It’s a perfect treat for kids and grown-ups alike. Unwrap, peel, and enjoy!
Watermelon Slices With Lime Chili Seasoning
If you want to bring a more unique spin on a typical team snack, watermelon has you covered. Watermelon has antioxidants, a refreshing flavor on its own and plenty of people would be content eating it as-is. But if you really want to take the experience to a new level, toss on a dash of lime chili seasoning!
It might sound strange at first. After all, don’t people typically use this type of seasoning in meat dishes? Sure, lime chili seasoning is great in tacos, but it can also add a spicy kick that blends perfectly with the fruit’s sweet profile. Sprinkle it on watermelon for a zesty infusion and watch people’s eyes light up!
Peanut Butter Banana Sandwiches
Sports are really fun to play, but they can also be tiring. Peanut butter banana sandwiches can be a filling food that hits the spot after a physically demanding workout. Plus, they’re scrumptious and a total crowd-pleaser.
Kids love both creamy and crunchy peanut butter, and it’s a great way to give them some protein when you need a filling protein snack. Just add some banana slices and you’ve got one delightful, dessert-like combination that’s sure to satisfy.
Frozen Grapes
Are you bringing treats for a team that loves desserts, but you just can’t bring yourself to load them up with sugary ingredients? Go for frozen grapes! You can use red grapes for sweetness or green grapes to provide a fun burst of tartness.
Beyond the stellar taste, both red grapes and green grapes contain minerals such as calcium and potassium, along with Vitamin C. Sounds great, right? Grab a bag or two of grapes, wash them off, take them off their vines, and set them in the freezer on a freezer-safe baking pan a few days before game day. This makes an easy grab-and-go team snack right before you head out.
