Easy and Healthy To-Go Snacks for Toddlers

Running around with young toddlers is challenging for a number of reasons.

There’s the dreaded task of having to work around nap time. Not to mention the mountain of stuff you need to bring: diapers, changing pads, and- of course – healthy snacks!

Today I’m sharing 7 of our favorite healthy snacks that you can make ahead of time and can grab-and-go without worry.

#1 – The Roll Up

Simple to make and easy to create lots of different varieties, the roll up is a great snack (or lunch) for toddlers as well as their older siblings!

#2 – Healthy Homemade Fruit & Veggie Gummies

Admittedly, these take a bit more work to prepare but, boy, do kids love them!

Kale chips have long been a favorite healthy snack amongst parents. They’re super easy to make and slip in your diaper bag– done!

#4 – Breakfast Cups for When It’s Too Cold for Smoothies

Smoothies are a great way to get kids to eat fruit and veggies but during fall and winter sometime they’re just. too. cold.
