your best snacks on the go recipes

[milkyman]

Bored of rice cakes and raisins!

[slightlyconfused85]

cucumber sticks, crackers, cheese, other dried fruits, malt loaf?

[Thurlow]

Cucumber or carrot sticks and malt loaf here too. Dates go down surprisingly well, I find, and bananas, of course. Oatcakes are my go too, especially now Nairns have started selling them in different flavoured travel packs.

[LissieD]

Dried apple, muesli bars, dry breakfast cereal, apple chopped up, peanut butter on crackers, frozen peas and sweetcorn, strawberries, blueberries etc, courgette sticks, cold pasta, tortilla wraps torn up.

[minipie]

great ideas here, I am going to steal loads of these

I'll add

halved grapes
breadsticks

[dancemom]

Dried apricots or cranberries

[MrsWinnibago]

Never use snacks. If we're out at mealtime then we take a packed lunch. If not then we eat in a cafe.

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

These are great and will freeze or keep in an airtight container for a few days.

Those little individually wrapped cheeses are good too

[ColdCottage]

I like to make my own mix of almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pecan nuts and peanuts. I then take a little pot out with me. Use the unsalted version for little people.

I also like celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, apricots and prunes.

I keep an emergency 6 pack of crisps and pack of juice boxes and water in the boot of the car. Once got stuck in traffic for 3h so like to be prepared.
