snacktime
Mid-meal munch moment
Snacktime is a designated period for eating a light meal or treat between main meals, especially for children in schools or daycare: The kids get cranky right before snacktime.
Adults use it playfully to announce they're grabbing a bite: It's snacktime—I'm getting chips.
