Snack time for kids can be tricky. Let them eat too much, and they may not be hungry enough to enjoy lunch and supper. While it’s easy to plan out and get your kids a snack when you are at home, giving your kids a snack while you are on the go can be more difficult. Here are some easy snacks for kids that work great for those times you are on the go.
FRUIT – I prefer grapes because they are less juicy than berries and melons.
DRY CEREAL – make a dry cereal snack mix featuring different kinds of your child’s favorite cereals.
AIR POPPED POPCORN – add a little butter if you like
YOGURT – iögo Nano is a great kid-friendly choice! Thanks to the practical resealable and spill-proof cap, kids can enjoy iögo Nano anywhere without making a mess.
CHEESE – cut into squares or make your own cheese sticks. My kids love it when I cut cheese into sticks.
TRAIL MIX – mix together raisins, sunflower seeds, peanuts, almonds and M&Ms for a delicious snack.
HOMEMADE FRUIT ROLL-UPS — these fruit roll-ups are delicious and without all the processed sugar!
VEGETABLES — Snap Peas, Carrots, Cucumbers and Cherry tomatoes make great snacks. Add a small container of ranch for dipping (which kid doesn’t love dips?)
SLICED PEPPERS AND HUMMUS
TORTILLA CHIPS AND SALSA
If packaged properly, these snacks can be thrown into a bag making them easy to snack on almost anywhere!

Great ideas for adults on the go as well to avoid grabbing a donut or junk on the go! The homemade fruit leather sounds interesting – something I will need to pin to try out!
Janet M says
Great ideas for snacks. One always needs a variety of snacks to get through the day.
Elaine Buonsante says
Your snack ideas remind me of a snack loaded with protein for myself when I am going to be out for a while: a hard boiled egg. It might not be a favourite of kids but it sure works for me.
Florence C says

I love using food pouches as easy on the go snacks. Especially if you make them yourself.

Yoghurt is a classic snack to take on the go. It is light but offers temporary satisfaction.

Great list of snacks, my son loves grapes!
Melisa says
With three kids it’s inevitable that someone only grazed a meal and will be complaining of hunger while we are out. Healthy, filling snacks are a must. This is a great list.
Dhemz Apdian - Dias says
these are some great resources…I’m glad my daughter is not hard to please when it comes to snacks. Thanks for sharing!
Ana Fernandez says
They are quick and healthy! Perfect for kids and adults! We need snacks too haha
Lalia Frolick says
We make a lot of the snacks listed for on-the-go! Including hummus, although my son eats it with crackers or carrots—he’s not a fan of peppers (although I am!).
doran poma says
These are adult approved too! Hummus is the best on the go dip.
Life as a Convert says
When I think of on the go snacks, I don’t really think of dips or sauces. My kids would be a mess if I gave them salsa on the go. I do like the idea of raw vegetables though.
Anosa says
Some good ideas, I don’t have kids yet but will share them with my sister in law for my nephew.Saves buying chocolate and sweets when you are out and about
Ayesha Heart says
These are great resources. Bookmarked for future reference. Gonna share this to my sister for her kids.
