Healthy Food
Traveling with a child in two means having food on hand. It's not your imagination that kids are hungry all the time: Especially during growth spurts, they take in their daily nutrition from snacks as well as meals, which is why it's a good idea to have healthy choices readily available wherever you go.
Consider nutritious take-alongs like these:
- Fresh fruit cut into bite-sized pieces, including apple moons, sliced grapes, orange slices, and berries.
- String cheese or cheese slices
- Homemade snack mix.
Combine plain cereals like oat circles with pretzels and goldfish crackers. Or you can tailor the mix to your child's favorites.
- Muffins.
Package carrot or fruit muffins in individual plastic bags. Add miniature chocolate chips to a basic muffin recipe, such as bran or zucchini, to increase the appeal of the good-for-you ingredients. Add a few tablespoons of wheat germ or a handful of oats to any batter to increase its fiber content in an undetectable way. Toddlers especially like tiny-sized muffins.
- Granola bars.
They're less fatty than a candy bar. Plus, your child will get more fiber while still satisfying a sweet tooth.
- Briefly steamed and cooled veggies, such as baby carrots and broccoli "trees," served with a yogurt dip.
- Cups of applesauce.
Pick different flavors and blends for a satisfying low-fat source of fiber and vitamin C that tastes pleasingly sweet
- Snack cookies such as animal crackers, fig bars, graham crackers, gingersnaps, or vanilla wafers.
These low-fat, low-sugar treats can tide your child over until mealtime or serve as a stand-in for dessert.
- Something to drink.
Make it 100 percent juice or flavored water, a yogurt drink, or, on a hot day, an energy drink such as Gatorade.
- Avoid peanuts, raisins, and uncut grapes for children under age 4 because they are choking hazards.
