Fast Snacks When You’re on the Go

The thing about snacks is they need to be fast. People want to grab something easily when they are on the go. They don’t have time to make a mess in the kitchen or chop fruits and veggies while trying to chase busy toddlers. Snacks that work tend to be grab-n-go and super easy.

Finding fast snacks isn’t that hard. You can easily pre-plan and create space in your fridge and cupboards for snacks so they are ready when you are. Here are some awesome fast snack ideas that will fill you up and give you plenty of healthy energy.

Fast Snack Idea #1. Place pre-cut veggies in clear containers in the fridge. Keep single servings of hummus or your favorite dip to pair with them. If you’re on the go, pour hummus or dip into the bottom of a cup and cut up veggies on top. You’ll have perfectly dipped veggies to munch on without any mess. Tip - make sure your cup fits into the cup holder of your car so you can drive hands-free!

Fast Snack Idea #2. Use large tortillas to make nut butter pinwheels that feed a crowd. Using large-sized tortillas, smear with nut butter, honey, or your favorite fruit spread. Roll and cut into half-inch pinwheels. This yields enough snacks for up to three people per tortilla. Add to a snack-sized baggie or shallow storage container for easy access.

Fast Snack Idea #3. Organize your pantry with an assortment of single-serving-sized snacks that your family can access easily. Use storage bins, and clear containers to showcase the snacks. Show your family which snacks are on and off-limits so they are sure to choose wisely. 😊

Fast Snack Idea #4. Store non-perishable snacks in your vehicle. Nuts, trail mix, cereal bars, and other foods that don’t melt or leak are perfect to store in your car so you won’t have to hit the drive-thru or mini-mart when hunger hits. Keep handy storage bins in your car that kids can use to hold their snacks and reduce messes from spills.

Having fast snacks available helps families make great choices and nip their hunger in the bud. Find easy ways to make snacking fast that fits your lifestyle and you’ll be ready no matter when you need an energy boost.
