Fav On-The-Go Snacks For My 18 Month Old

Snacks. Snacks. Snacks. 

How many times have they utterly saved the day when you're with your kids at the grocery store... running errands.... during an agonizing road trip?
​
I get loads of DM's on Instagram about snack ideas for kids, so I thought I'd share a quick and easy blog post sharing what we have been loving lately.

Here are our latest on-the-go favs:

​Walnuts

I place them into my Ever Eco stainless steel ​containers (see end of this post), and off we go!

These guys are highly nutritious, super high in Omega-3 and they promote gut health. 

* Since these can be a choking hazard, I make sure the walnuts are halved

​Pepitas
​
Great finger food and loaded with antioxidants, iron, zinc and magnesium.

28 grams of pumpkin seeds are about 150 calories, mainly comprised from fat and protein.

​Dried Mango

We get these dehydrated mango cheeks from The Source Bulk Foods. If I ever need her to be happy, quiet and still for 30 minutes or more, you know I'm headed to The Source to pick some up. I store them in reusable glass jars and they stay nice and fresh. 

I NEVER fly without them... true story.

​Dried Prunes

28 grams of prunes are about 65 calories and have 2 grams of fibre! That's a lot, and it's also why they are used as a common constipation remedy.
 
Compared to their cousin, the plum, prunes have more calories, but are higher in fibre and carbs. They are also quite high in vitamin K.

​Storage
​
These mini containers from Ever Eco have a stainless steel base with silicone lid. They are a great size for snacks, salad dressing, etc. 

I love that they're plastic free and non-toxic. The  stainless steel is fantastic for packing things like frozen blueberries (another fav of ours not mentioned above), because it keeps them cold for a long time. You can buy these mini containers at Anthropology in the USA or online at Evereco.com.au

If you love pouches for on-the-go, you can't go past Bellamy's Organic!
I've blogged all about our love for them here!
