Snacks

Here are some of the snacks we take.
Suggestions are welcome!



Sturdier Snacks:

granola bars
fruit snacks
crackers
raisins
fruit - cherries, grapes, bananas (although they tend to stink up the car), apples, etc.
almonds - we bought a big bag at Costco, yummy!
homemade cookies - Tupperware = no crushed cookies
grape tomatoes
pretzels (less crushable than chips)
beef jerky
Cheetos (it can't all be healthy, right?)


For the cooler:

Tortilla Wraps - won't smash like bread
deli meats
cheese
mayo, mustard (there are travel sizes of these that you can refill)
spinach (we use instead of lettuce, it really doesn't taste spinach-y!)
tuna & sunflower seeds (really good mixed together in a sandwich)

Hint: instead of having a big bag of melting ice in the cooler, freeze some water bottles, and as they thaw, you will also have drinking water.

Sugar-free juice powder packs to add to water bottles - that way you have the option of having only water if you want.


If you really feel the need to have soda, (pop, as I grew up saying it,) Walmart has $.67 2-liters. They go well with a $5 pizza from Little Caesar's! Which reminds me, don't forget -

napkins
paper plates
plastic cups


Everything is easier in the cooler, whether it needs to be chilled, or not. It keeps everything consolidated in one place, and prevents things from getting smashed. In theory, it will even keep your van/car cleaner since you're more likely to get only one or two things out at a time rather than having a bag full of stuff floating around. (In theory.)
