Thank you to everyone who participated in our Back to School with Buddy Fruits contest! We are honored to ship Kellie Rose Wilson a year supply of Buddy Fruits.
Below are twenty of our favorite on-the-go snacks to help
fuel your child’s body and mind.
Taxi on duty! As modern parents, we find ourselves carting little ones around to 101 different things: school, lessons, weekly practices, events, and extracurricular classes. My two girls are on the swim team and play piano. Even if a child is only participating in a single after-school activity, parents often find themselves with a chaotic schedule.
A quick on-the-go snack between activities can help fuel your child’s body and mind. {Tweet This}
. . . not to mention, save you from cranky children. Below are twenty of our favorite on-the-go snacks. Providing fresh fruit and veggies on-the-go can be challenging. Our family likes to pre-pack a few sets of snacks for the week on Sunday night. We love these stainless steel LunchBots containers because they are the perfect size and dishwasher safe. Well, that and the small condiment containers ROCK for ranch sides. Here are fifteen of our favorite items to pre-pack:
- Baby Carrots + Ranch
- Grapes + Cheddar Cheese Square
- Magic Bananas (See how to add a hidden fruit message)
- Hawaiian Bun + Deli Meat
- Broccoli + Ranch
- Cucumber Slices + Ranch
- Mini-bagel + Cream Cheese
- Greek Yogurt + Frozen Fruit + (Granola on the side)
- Summer Sausage + Cheese Slices (Butter Crackers on the side)
- Frozen Grape Kabobs
- String Cheese + Clementine Mandarin Oranges (Easy to peel)
- Mini-bagel + Peanut Butter
- Sugar Snap Peas + Pretzels
- Strawberries + Monster Trail Mix
- Pinwheel Roll-ups + Grapes
Insider’s Tip: With pinwheel roll-ups, the sky is the limit; there are so many combinations to try. Tiffany of Peanut Blossom explains, “Take the meat and/or cheese, lay it flat. Roll it up like a burrito. Slice it into chunks, hold in place with toothpicks.” Read full post.
In a perfect world, our schedules, meal plans, and snack prep would all be accomplished with grace. Life has a tendency to get in the way. {Tweet This}
Below are our top five quick-fix snacks:
1. Apples + Creamy Swiss Cheese
2. Apples + Peanut Butter
Insider’s Tip: Do your kids refuse to eat brown apples?
Try this rubber band trick for keeping cut apples fresh longer.
- Slice the apple into thirds.
- Slice the center piece into thirds again.
- Wrap a rubber band around the pieces to hold the apple together.
Sometimes I need a “Quick — grab something NOW because I was supposed to pick up the kids five minutes ago” snack solution. We dig Buddy Fruits because of the all-natural ingredients. You’ll never find preservatives, coloring, genetic modifications, artificial flavoring, water, or corn syrup in any of their products. In the end, we buy them because it is eating fruit, made easy.
3. Pure Blended Fruit Pouches (This is our favorite flavor)
4. Pure fruit bites + Pretzels
5. Apple Chips
What’s your child’s favorite on-the-go snack?
What would you add to the list?
PS: I am proud to collaborate with Buddy Fruits this September to share Back to School (B2S) Tips. Parenting is easiest when we stick together. We’d like to have you participate and share your favorite B2S pins, too. As a thank-you… we’ll be giving away a year’s supply of Buddy Fruits to one Let’s Lasso the Moon reader [CONTEST CLOSED].
Congratulations to our winner Kellie Rose Wilson!
