Before we left for our recent weekend trip to Asheville (a 4 hour drive away from us, factoring in a few stops with kids), I made sure that we had a fully stocked snack bag. Specifically, I packed all of this:
And while we stopped 4 times on that 4 hour trip, we never did stop because of hunger. So I’m confident that my heft supply of Earth’s Best provisions kept us from stopping 6 or even 7 times each way. In that sense, they were a major sanity saver!
I carefully selected each item you see here for different reasons, but the common theme for all of them is that they are highly portable and relatively mess-free. Even Layah is getting tot he point where she can feed herself a yogurt smoothie, and she can definitely tear up a Sunny Days Snack Bar
One tip I have for you if your kids love the smoothies: If you aren’t taking them on the road, try sticking them in the freezer for a few hours before you give them to the kids. They are DELICIOUS as a cool slushy treat this time of year!
Are you taking any road trips? What kind of snacks do you pack for your kiddos? I’d love to hear what makes your “must have” list!

We like to pack raisins, but that’s been challenging with potty training…
I haven’t hear of the Earth’s Best Yogurt Smoothies, and I know our little one would love the Banana Mango. She loves bananas so much. I have got to get some of these. I make snack bars and granola for trips (I have medical problems and have to be careful what I eat) We go to the mountains about 4 times a year. We have some land between Asheville and Tennessee. We built a little shed and we camp out there. It’s so beautiful there, one day we will build there, but for now we just camp. Our land goes up to the National Forest and we have so many visitors, wanted or not come around. The bears usually make a lot of noise rustling in the woods. My daughter takes about 2 beach trips and 1 mountain trip each year. They go with us to the mountains. Our little angel loves the mountains as much as we do. She is a great traveler, but you are so right about being prepared. She and I sit in the back and read books and play games. So much fun. But thanks for the information on the Earth’s Best. I have got to get some for her to try, and yes they would be perfect for trips. You have so many great ideas, keep them coming I appreciate any that we can use.
So glad you like the comments!
James loves the Sunny Days bars. We don’t buy them often but he certainly inhales them when I hand him one. I will occasionally get the fruit pouches too but since there no milk for James he gets straight fruit 🙂
