By the time your child is a preschooler, you’re probably well aware that when you travel with children, you need to make sure you have healthy snacks on hand all the time. Children, especially those that are experiencing a growth spurt, tend to be hungry all the time, and keeping a few of these healthy snacks on hand all the time can help to keep them happy and healthy:
Cheese slices
Fruit – cut into chunks. Suitable fruits include mangos, oranges, berries and apples
Muffins, scones or other baked goods
Steamed and cooled vegetables, or raw vegetables cut into fingers, and a dip made with yoghurt or hummus
Snack mixes, whether home made or bought, or cereal bars
Dried fruit. Avoid peanuts, raisins and other small fruits, as they can be choking hazards
When it comes to suitable drinks, milk, water, child friendly juices all good options
Most of these foods can be prepared ahead of time, and stored in the fridge, ready to take out when you need to leave.
