Quick Fix- Snacks On The Go

It's Saturday morning and you have a long list to tackle (if you're like me, a few errands, laundry and other tasks around the house eventually). Your little one has eaten a quick bowl of cereal and you managed to scarf down a bar before sorting through their backpack before you run out the door. It's after 10am....it will be lunch soon.  What will you do for lunch when the little ones (and you) get hungry?

Don't brave it- be prepared! Here's a quick fix to cover your bases:

1. Pack a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and mess free fruit (such as grapes, an apple or orange/cutie).
2. Grab a few handfuls of pretzels and throw into a baggie with a handful of raisins, half a handful of their favorite cereal  or granola and cheese crackers.
3. Fill a travel cup with a no sugar added beverage, preferably water (though it will keep you on the go to the potty if not consumed moderately).

This will keep you from swinging by the drive through windows or grabbing junk in the middle aisle and check out lanes of the stores. You'll save time and money, and ultimately, teach your child the value in being prepared, eating healthy and caring for self.

Hope this inspired you!
