My kids are athletes, play a combined six sports and they do not reach for the Oreos/chips after a game. Do we have them at parties and appropriate times, of course! But after a game when your body is in recovery, they know better.

Cucumbers?

I would love to see this in the wild.


Not as bad as the lady who always brought seaweed snacks to ours.


My kid would destroy the seaweed snacks but I suspect he’s in the minority there.


They are extremely salty/high sodium so a very odd and stinky choice after kids have been running around on a soccer field for an hour.


They aren’t all high in sodium at all, but even if they were, sodium can actually be beneficial after exercise. So you’re welcome to think it’s odd or stinky, but….

(And no, we’re not Asian either.)


Seaweed snacks are hugely popular!

I don't think there should be snacks at all at regular activities that are 2 hours or less, unless it's immediately after school, but if there are snacks, my kids and their friends would love seaweed or fruit.


Seaweed snacks are not popular after elementary school for many reasons, one of which is elementary kids don’t care how their breath smells, but kids in puberty do!

I’m not trying to be the healthy mom after a soccer game I’m trying not to be the mom that sucks and brings sucky snacks. So junk food it is.
Cucumbers and my kid would be devastated.

Assorted chips
Small containers of pringles
Individual Oreo packs
Popcorn
Individual packaged Rice Krispie treats

All the above are huge hits after our soccer games. Some parents do Gatorade too



All of that is super processed and full of sugar. Kids don’t need snacks after every sports game, it is so ridiculous. If you do bring them, then attempting to bring something a bit healthier is a great idea! I’d bring watermelon, OP. Kids love that!

We do assorted chips and Gatorade from Costco. But personally I would have loved to bring oranges.

Hate the super junky stuff - why? I like the oranges or watermelon slices plus maybe some individual pop corner bags or similar? Or zbars/kind bars/luna bars?

My kid and his friends actually love those, but can’t say it ever would have occurred to me to take them as a post-game snack!


Asian or?


DP but no, we're as white as can be.

My kids love these. I've never brought them to share at a game though.
