Easy Snacks for Kids on the Go

by

disclosure

The kids and I spend a lot of time in the car. A lot a lot.

They are all at different year-round school campuses, so the morning and afternoon carpools each take over an hour. That’s a long time to be sitting in a carseat.

And since the kids also have summer and after-school activities four weekdays out of five, their time in the car goes on even longer. When my oldest daughter has soccer, the other two are stuck with me in the car while we wait an extra 45 minutes after school. When my younger daughter has guitar, the other kids and I will run a few errands while we wait for her to finish.

It’s a daily schedule of carting the kids from one activity to the next, it seems. And I have to be prepared.

Snacks on the Go for Busy Days

I’ve learned that our on-the-go life is a lot easier when we have everything we might need with us. I keep extra pencils in the glove compartment in case the kids need to work on homework. I have baby wipes in the seat back in case there is a mess. And I always, always, always make sure to have drinks and snacks ready for long waits and long drives in the car.

The drinks are easy – I just keep water bottles in a drawer under my seat where they stay cool. But snacks are harder. The snacks need to be something the kids all like, something easy and something that won’t make a mess.

So we’ve been enjoying Danimals® Smoothies – a nutritious and convenient snack that the kids all love. They’re perfect as a quick snack that can keep up with our busy schedules.

I just pop a few Dannon® Danimals® Smoothies in my basket and have them ready when the kids get hungry. They couldn’t be more perfect for our busy days out and about.

With fun flavors like Strawberry Explosion®, Wild Watermelon®, and Rockin’ Raspberry®, the smoothies are actually a healthy snack the kids are excited about – which, of course, this mom loves.

  1. These sound great. I like the Ibotta rebate too. I started using that last month and have already made $12. 🙂

  5. We’ve never tried Danimals but we certainly will now! I love easy snacks for the kids that are nutritious!

  7. you could also do cheese sticks and fruit cut up in the same shape as a cheese stick. This makes them fun and easy to eat.

  10. Healthy and fun, what could be better! You could theme a bento boxed lunch around the characters!

  11. Oh my goodness, the Danimals smoothies are adorable! I’ll have to remember these, I know my grandson’s would love them.

  14. I would love to try them all. I particularly love the Strawberry one the most though. Thanks for sharing.

  22. Smoothies and yogurt are so much better than al lthe processed snacks that are out there now

  26. Oh, great idea! And they seem liked they’d be easy to take places. Play dates, playgrounds, anywhere!
