It’s back to school time, and with it comes a lot of time in the car with the kids. Whether you’re driving them to and from school, sports events, practices or lessons, you need some clean and healthy snacks for the car. We’ve got some yummy ideas to help!
Clean And Healthy Snacks For The Car
Mess-free and healthy snacks for the kids are clearly the way to go when you stock up the car for all the driving time that comes with a new school year. Here are some of the best options that will help you keep the kids’ hunger pangs at bay {and the car clean!}.
Kids are apt to be thirsty as well as hungry, so a fruit smoothie in a no-spill cup with a straw is a great option to keep them going until dinner time.
Jerky is a protein-rich snack that is clean and healthy, especially if you buy an organic jerky without chemical preservatives {or make your own!}.
One of our favorite things are protein-packed power balls. Kids love them! They are compact, easy to eat, and won’t make a mess.
Pack a cooler with string cheese and apple slices, and that’s a combination most kids will inhale.
Another clean and healthy snack for the car is grapes. Have you ever tried them frozen? So refreshing, especially on a warm afternoon! Try pre-peeling some clementines and packing each in a baggie so all the kids have to do is pop the segments into their mouth.
Trail mix is a kid-favorite snack moms can also appreciate. Pack it into snack-sized plastic baggies, or purchase single-serving packets.
Homemade fruit leather is healthy, quick and satisfying. It’s guaranteed not to mess up your car’s interior. Don’t want to make fruit leather? Pack some fruit snacks. They’re also easy and clean.
Other Healthy Snacks For The Car
Other possibilities include things like bananas {be sure and collect the peels when the kids are done}, Goldfish crackers, carrot sticks, and kid protein bars. Don’t miss these easy ways to keep your car clean while road tripping!
