My Top 5 Healthy Snacks For Kids That are Easy To Take On-The-Go

Let's be real, Kids are PICKY. The older my son gets, the pickier he seems to be. Aware more now of tastes and more importantly texture, we're constantly trying to find new foods that peak his interest. And as busy are we are every day, I love finding snacks that he enjoys AND ones that are healthy without tons of added sugars, preservatives, and all the other junk that seems to find its way into our food sources.

I've been having him spend more time in the kitchen with me lately. He loves to feel like he's helping me, and while we cook, we talk about the importance of choosing clean, high quality ingredients. And that making our own meals, allows us full control of what we are putting into our bodies. I want him to appreciate both food and his body as he gets older. I want him to be informed.

When we're not at home cooking our own meals, we're usually on the go. And that means, that sometimes we're out longer than expected and he gets hungry. Rather than hitting up the nearest drive thru, or gas station, I like to keep my bag stocked with some of his, and my favorites. Here's a round up of our top 5 picks!


 

Pumpkin_Muffin_00_grande

Simple Mills Pumpkin muffins are a huge hit around here. And with only 8 ingredients, I feel good about his love for them. They're gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. As muffins, they're easy to bag up and take on the road with us. PLUS- they're delicious! I buy the mix online through Thrive Market. Click HERE to get 25% off your first order plus a free 30 day membership! Trust me when I say the membership is worth the initial investment. Plus with this deal, you can shop without paying the membership fee! major win!

The Epic Venison bars are SO GOOD! Plus they're easy to throw in the car, purse, and diaper bag. With wholesome ingredients and 12 grams of protein, these are high on our list in our house. Along with the pumpkin mix, you can find these insanely cheap at Thrive Market!

I'm a huge fan of RX bars, so you can imagine my excitement when they started making a kids version. They have 3 flavors: Chocolate Chip, Berry Blast, and Apple Cinnamon. They are made with the same great ingredients as a the adult version. I love these because they are a great alternative to the sugar laden granola bars in todays market. I have found these at target and whole foods in the Boise area.

Fruit leather is almost always a hit. I love this brand because its organic, non-GMO, and I can get a huge box of them at Costco. Win, Win! We usually don't have an issue getting Owen to eat pieces of fruit, so these serve more as an emergency snack for him if we get stuck out running errands longer than expected. He's perfectly content snacking on strawberries and apples when we are at home.

Last, but certainly not least, Owen loves these Happy Tot pouches! Getting him to eat vegetables is sometimes a struggle, so I love that these have sweet potatoes and carrots in them! The best part? He thinks he's just eating applesauce! Again, you can find these at Thrive Market!

A Mood. * Last night my husband went to pick up ou A Mood.

Last night my husband went to pick up our grocery order. While he waited he watched several families go in and out of the store. Two adults and multiple children. Strollers. Diaper bags, just casually out shopping like any other Friday night.
*
Please stay home. We’re all bored. We’re all going stir crazy. We all wish this wasn’t a reality. But the longer you don’t stay home except for going out for essentials, the longer we all will be doing this.
*
Do it for everyone who can’t stay home right now because they’re out saving lives, caring for sick people, selling you your groceries, stocking shelves, driving through the night to get your essentials into the stores, etc.
Don’t be an asshole.

Did you know that split, green, and yellow peas are now allowed on the @whole30?! Yep, true story!

So snag that bag of frozen peas and carrots from the depths of your freezer and whip yourself up some cauliflower fried rice!

Although I’m attempting to make light of somewhat scary and unknown times, it is important that we recognize and help the people in our country and communities right now who don’t know how they are going to feed themselves and/or their families today and for some time to come. I urge you to go to www.feedingamerica.org/take-action and donate to the COVID-19 response fund. $1 can provide 10 meals, so every little bit makes a difference

I’ve put the link for Feeding America in my link in bio for you ❤️
My creative energy has been bubbling over the last My creative energy has been bubbling over the last week (Well basically since I got to Alt Summit)

When my creative energy spikes, my physical energy does as well and all of a sudden I’m finally painting walls I’ve been meaning to for a year, and oh turning my house into a houseplant filled heaven (zen me!)
*
But I’m also harnessing some of that energy and putting it into new resources and projects to help you find success in your food freedom and long term habit change efforts
*
So hit me with what you need! What types of resources do you feel like would benefit you in your journey?!
