Are you tired of bringing along messy foods and snacks in your vehicle? This may be a challenge especially if you have kiddies in the car with you on daily car rides and even long road trips.

 

What are the best and even healthy types of snacks you can pack in your vehicle without worrying about added messes such as sticky snacks?

 

  • No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Cookies-Look for alternatives if you have a peanut allergy in the house.

 

  • Raw or slightly salted nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, etc.

 

  • Homemade chips such as roasted chickpeas, kale chips, banana chips, etc.

 

  • Healthy muffins like carrot muffins, blueberry muffins, wheat muffins, etc. If you are worried about the crumbs, think about muffin minis or bite-sized alternatives.

 

  •  Crackers and Cheese-This can be classic or you can add a spin on it by bringing string cheese and crackers inside of a package    that you can take out one by one.

 

  • Tropical Trail Mix-You can make your own by adding foods you know your kids love like apricots, coconut, dark chocolate chips, etc.

 

The best types of snacks for the car are carrot sticks, celery sticks, and apple slices. These are definitely mess-free and there is no worries of a messy car afterward. These are also very healthy food choices for the car.

 

The best foods to avoid are fruit snacks (especially with little ones), marshmallows, bananas, Gogurt yogurt, peanut butter spreads, and jellies.


A clean and healthy car is a happy car!
