Ingredients

  • Fruits and Veggies Try carrot sticks, cucumber, broccoli, frozen peas, berries, grapes, melon, apples, pears, oranges, or dried fruit.
  • Beef Sticks, Salami or Cheese curds or slices
  • Leftover Pasta Whenever I make pasta for dinner (a short pasta like penne, bowtie, rotini, etc.) I pull out a half cup or so before adding it to the sauce, and keep it in the fridge all week to add to a snack pack.
  • Nuts, Seeds, Dried Fruit, Almond Vanilla Granola, Cheerios or Chex, Pretzels Put these in a separate container, a quick trail mix!
  • Peanut Butter and Banana (or jelly) sandwich
  • Healthy Zucchini Cookies or Muffins or Peanut Butter Nutella Protein Bites I like to make batches of these, freeze and just pack them frozen, they thaw on the go.

Instructions

  • Pack in small containers, portioned for the age of the kids and the length of the outing. Keep dry snacks in separate containers.

Notes

Try these Banana Carrot Oatmeal Muffins, nut-free for school too!
