When you’re on the go, snacks are a must. Here are some of our favorites that keep the messes at a minimum (ish?) and still pack some nutrients!

Our Go-To Snacks
  1. Chickpeas: This is a protein packed legume has become one of our baby/toddler faves. Straight from the can or freeze dried, it’s so delicious and satisfying! You can also find plenty of flavored options too.
  2. Snack Bars: Individually packed bars are always helpful when you’re on the go! Our faves are Dave’s Killer Bread Bars, Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars, Kind Protein Breakfast Bars, Belvita Bars
  3. Fresh Fruit: We love blueberries, strawberries, grapes, apple slices, and of course Cuties! If you’ve got a little and you’re concerned about fruit size – we love the OXO fruit cutter.
  4. Fresh Cut Veggies: Baby carrots and sliced peppers are always a great on-the-go snack! Sometimes we have some hummus to accompany them but also delicious (& cleaner!) solo.
  5. String Cheese: An easy, protein-packed snack that (usually) even the picky kiddos love!
  6. Pretzels: A salty snack is essential. We love all versions of a pretzel: matchsticks, peanut butter-filled, thins…you name it. 
  7. Dried Fruit: A great option for fruit, especially if you can’t keep your snackle box cold. Raisins, apple rings, dried mango, freeze dried berries…the list goes on!
  8. Nuts/Trail Mix: Trader Joe’s has some great individually packaged trail mixes that we love. But just a handful of almonds or pistachios will do the trick.
  9. Gummy Snacks: Adds some fun and color to your snackle box!
  10. Crackers: Goldfish are requested daily in this household but sometimes it’s fun to mix it up with pita crackers.
  11. Meat: Think charcuterie for kids! Our go-to’s are pepperoni, salami or even turkey roll ups, pair it with your cheese and go pinkies up.
  12. Electrolyte Packets: This has become a recent addition to our snack haul. Loving the Cure lemonade flavor for adults and kids (ages 1 & up) alike!
  13. Sweet Treat: Graham crackers, cookies, or candy…the kiddos always get excited about what sweet treat they’ll find. 
  14. Pouches: A must-have for any outing with toddlers and always a crowd pleaser with big kids too! It’s so great to have a quick and easy treat for them to slurp down.
  15. Dip: Dip can be a controversial addition to a snack box due to the mess-factor, but with the right container, it can definitely be a level up! Hummus and guac are our top faves! For a long day out it can be nice to get the individually packaged snack/dip kits for everyone to have.
