Snacks for Kids on the go

Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for Jif To Go Dippers. I received a sample to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating. 

  Four weeks into the school year and we have our after-school routine down. Come home, change into play clothes, have a snack, go outside and run around (and burn off that energy that's been pent up all day!). 

  Only Kay wants to get to the have-fun-and-play part NOW. So snacks that can be eaten on a walk to the park or on the way to an after school activity are preferred. If she had her way, it would be lollipops every day. I aim for something at least a little more healthy! Here are our go-to snacks for kids who like to go: 

• Fruit - obviously the healthiest option. I'm lucky in that Kay loves fruit so we try to always have some on hand
  
• Jif To Go Dippers - creamy peanut butter (or chocolate silk peanut butter - yum!) and pretzels make for a great on-the-go snack, especially when we have a class to get to (like swimming!). Our newest favorite for on-the-go!
  
• Apple and peanut butter - always a favorite (can you tell we like our peanut butter?)
  
• Apple sauce pouches or yogurt sticks - we both like these! (For an added treat, before it gets too chilly, try freezing the yogurt sticks. Kay loves them that way!)
  
• Raisins - easy to carry!
  
• Cheese and crackers - another quick and easy one.
  
• Muffins - I like when she takes these outside because then I don't have to worry about crumbs! Bonus points if you make them together the night before (Kay always seems to think they taste better when she's had a hand in them. We tell her homemade ones taste better because they're made with love!)

  Haven't heard of Jif To Go? If you have a child in tow, they can be very helpful indeed. (Hungry child = cranky child. This also goes for husbands, I've found!) It's Jif's delicious peanut butter, conveniently packaged in single-servings that are perfect for on-to-go. There are also new Jif To Go Dippers, which come with pretzels for dipping. I'm thinking these are perfect for

• road trips
  
• after school snacks
  
• on the way to or from dance classes or soccer practice, etc.
  
• anytime those munchies strike and you want something healthy for the kids (or you!)
  

You can get your hands on Jif To Go Dippers at grocery stores nationwide and you can buy them individually or in a 3-pack. Enjoy!
