Summer holidays are behind us, and September in Northern Ireland means back-to-school routines are in full swing. Parents across the island know one phrase that never changes when the school day ends: “I’m hungry!”
After-school hunger is real. Kids spend the day learning, playing, and socialising, so when they walk through the door, they need something quick, tasty, and nutritious, without spoiling dinner. That’s where Sukie comes in. Made with real fruit juice and loved by children across Northern Ireland, Sukie is the perfect fruity refreshment to pair with easy after-school snacks.
Fruit Skewers
Chop up strawberries, melon, grapes, or apple slices and thread them onto skewers. Serve with a chilled Sukie Blackcurrant drink for a refreshing, fruity match.
Mini Sandwich Bites
Cut wholegrain sandwiches into fun shapes using cookie cutters. Fill with cheese, ham, or hummus. Pair with Sukie Orange for a zesty boost that kids love.
Veggie Sticks & Dip
Carrot, cucumber, and pepper sticks with hummus or guacamole make a crunchy snack that pairs perfectly with a Sukie.
Toast with peanut butter
A slice of warm toast topped with smooth or crunchy peanut butter makes a filling, protein-packed snack.
Homemade Muffins
Bake banana or blueberry muffins over the weekend to last the week. These go down a treat with any Sukie flavour.
Buttered Boiled Eggs in a cup
Egg in a cup is a much-loved classic in Northern Ireland. Boil two eggs per child until cooked but with a runny yolk, add to a cup and add butter, a pinch of salt, and a little white pepper before roughly mashing together.
Local mums and dads are always coming up with great after-school snack ideas:
Jill (@homeatrosecottage): Her go-to snack is a wrap filled with ham, cheese, and tomato paste, toasted until golden and gooey. And for her son Harry? Snack time isn’t complete without his Sukie drink.
Amy & Eoghan (@amylcampbellx and @eoghanquigg): They challenged each other to create the kids’ favourite snack. Amy went healthy with ham and cheese sandwiches, watermelon, strawberries and cheese strings, while Eoghan opted for muffins, sweets and marshmallows. The verdict? Both kids reached for their Sukie drinks, proving it’s the snack-time winner every time.
Parents love that Sukie is:
Made with real fruit juice
Naturally refreshing and hydrating
Available in flavours kids actually get excited about
Instead of reaching for sugary or fizzy drinks, Sukie gives your little ones a delicious option that complements healthy after-school snacks.
Back-to-school season can feel overwhelming, but creating small rituals helps. A quick snack, a Sukie, and a few minutes to chat about their day can give children the reset they need before homework or evening routines.
So, next time you hear “I’m hungry!” after school, try one of these simple snacks and Sukie pairings. They’re easy for parents, delicious for kids, and loved in households across Northern Ireland.
