Snack Better This September

1st Sep 2025

Snack-tember is all about empowering children and young people to have healthier and more sustainable snacks throughout September.

What is Snack-tember all about?

We want to improve children and young people’s knowledge, skills, confidence and motivation, so that they can make and choose healthier, more sustainable snacks.

Throughout September 2025, we are helping children and young people to:

Explore better snacking

Try new snacks

Make their own healthy snacks

We have a range of resources for those teaching, or working with, children and young people aged 5-16 years. These include activity ideas, recipes, posters and lots more!

Our aim is to help children and young people choose and make snacks that have:

MORE vegetables and fruit

MORE wholegrains, beans and pulses

LESS saturated fat, salt and sugars

These are key contributors to healthier, more sustainable snacking
