If you’ve got kids, you know you can’t always be at home when they get hungry. Whether you’re planning a big trip with kids in tow, or simply want to hit the park without worrying about provisions, these snacks make it easy to have healthy food wherever life takes you.

GoGo Big Squeeze Pouches: If your kid loves pouches, but the smaller size no longer does the job, get a load of these bigger options. Made for older kids, these jumbo pouches come in a variety of fruit flavors kids love. They pack easily into bags and lunch boxes, and close up securely even if your child doesn’t eat all of it. 

Easy snack mix for kids

Easy Snack Mix: Combine whatever dry ingredients you have sitting around into one tasty mix. From cereal to dried fruit, you decide what works best for your family. Have a child with nut allergies? You can make a mix with no nut contamination. It only takes minutes to assemble into snack-sized containers and can be customized for almost any situation. Got a hot day? Leave out the chocolate chips or other melting ingredients. You decide, and best of all, it can put random odds and ends in your cabinet to good use.

They weigh next to nothing, and their slim profile means they fit into pockets, bags, and more for easy access.

Clif Kid Z Bars: These snack bars made just for kids pack a big punch. You can choose from multiple different flavors, like s’mores, iced oatmeal cookie, and more that appeal to kids. My kids have been snacking on these bars for years, and despite their individual food preferences, they all love these bars.
