10 Healthy Travel Snacks for Kids

Travelling with kids is hard enough.  Add in the packing….oh the packing!  Intentions are always good when you are in your planning phase; the kids will only eat healthy meals and snacks this time. Mmmhmm! I’ve been there; it is easier to grab treats along your travels, foods that generally are high in fats, sugars and fillers and the extra expense of those treats is not usually in the travel budget.  Here are a few ideas to keep your kids eating healthy, even while travelling.

10 Healthy Travel Snack Ideas

1. Dry nuts, chickpeas, trail mix or dried fruits.

2. Granola Bars

3. Banana loaf or zucchini muffins

Frozen water bottles – by the time they thaw out the kids will be ready for a drink.
