What are some good road trip snacks when traveling with kids?
Parents, give me your ideas for the best road trips snacks for family road trips!
What snacks have you found travel best, keeping messes to a minimum and kids (mostly) satisfied until you're able to stop for a meal?
Your favorite healthy road trip snacks as well as tasty or junk food treats are all welcome!
-
Trail mix or mixed nuts are a great, protein-filled snack to keep hunger at bay, and easy to pack and eat in the car.
-
Whole apples - we try to avoid slicing them since they get brown so quickly!
-
Dried cereal. You can put your families' favorite in baggies, or get the individually-sized snack cups.
-
Granola bars are so easy to travel with, and are a hearty road trip snack that still tastes like a treat.
-
Crackers are a great starchy road trip snack to have on hand, especially if you have anyone who gets car sick.
-
Goldfish crackers, of course! They will almost certainly get all over your car, but IMO are still worth it for the ease and universal kid appeal.
-
Grapes are good healthy road trip snacks as they hold up much better than most other fresh fruit while traveling. If you've got little ones, you can cut them after washing to avoid a possible choke hazard.
