Snack Kit Idea for Car Travels

There’s whining and bickering. I’m hungry! Are we there yet? This is the scenario when we drive with our 2 girls. I would understand if it’s the 2hr. long drive we take every other weekend to see family or attend birthdays. But with our girls, even the quick school pickup or drop-offs gets them hangry.

Yes! Hangry – Part angry, mostly hungry. LOL. I’ve made a Snack Kit for Car Travels to keep them happy in the car so I can keep my focus on the road. Check out my easy tutorial and make Snack Kits ahead to keep in your pantry so you’re prepared for long travels or quick car rides.

We have moved out of LA but end up going back and forth every other weekend and that involves me packing and unpacking all the time. So, I’ve already prepared snack kits ahead so it’s one less thing for me to take care of when we’re rushing out and I have so much to do before a trip.
I’ve even implored the help of the kids to help me pack the snack kits ahead of time. Check out the tutorial so you can replicate it at home.
SNACK KIT TUTORIAL
What you need:
  • Clear Bag
  • RITZ Peanut Butter Filled Sandwich Crackers 8ct 11.04oz
  • Various Nuts
  • Raisins
  • Juice Pack

Put the snacks in a clear bag. You can even adjust base on your kids favorite snacks but make sure to pack a RITZ Peanut Butter Filled Sandwich Crackers. It’s filling and gives them protein so they are not hangry in the car and everybody loves it, even me.

 

Make a few of them and place them in a basket. You can place the basket either in the pantry or near the garage and just grab and go. I’d grab a few of them for long drives.
Sometimes, the kids also grabs a snack kit when they are doing their homework. I also grab a few RITZ here and there as well. The toddler didn’t mind sharing them with me during our trip to Legoland 2 weeks ago. And big sis’ was all quiet as her mouth was RITZ full, haha. No complaints there.
Are you a parent who is constantly on the go and have no time for meltdowns? Make sure to prepare your snack kit ahead and avoid having Hangry kids in the car.Not only are RITZ Filled Sandwich Crackers guaranteed to keep the Hangry away, they’re the ideal on-the-go snack for whatever the season throws our way. Once the Hangry kids are taken care of, we can focus on driving or navigating the road.What a relief when the kids are not complaining in the back. Funny thing is though, when they are loud, my husband and I will say tone it down. And then when they are super quiet, we say “are you guys okay back there?” LOL!

 

Ready to make a snack kit? Everything you need to prepare a Snack Kit including the RITZ Filled Sandwich Crackers are now available at Kroger stores. Our Kroger store is Ralph’s. I love shopping at Ralph’s coz’ they never let me wait for a cashier, they don’t make the line go long so you can be in and out of the store. I love going around that store then filling up gas afterwards. In our area, there’s a Ralph’s gas station. It’s a one stop shop for our essentials.

I get our RITZ Peanut Butter Filled Sandwich Crackers 8ct 11.04oz at the lunchbox aisle at Ralph’s. They also carry the RITZ Cheese Filled Sandwich Crackers variety.

Does your kids get hangry all the time? Leave your comments below. Let us know how they are like and don’t forget to pack your snack kits especially this holiday with all the travels you’re gonna make.

  22. Great tip!! I usually pack a lot of different snacks, but I like your idea of personalizing it a little more and making a snack bag for each child! Can't wait to try this!

  25. Love this blog post ! Great idea to make a bag for each child with other goodies such as small toys! I got to do this on the next road trip to their uncle and aunt's house. Which is not close to our home. It a drive plus sometimes we end up in traffic.
