Fruit & Veggie Puree Pouches
Try this easy, portable way to sneak more fruits and veggies into your child’s diet. These don’t need to be refrigerated until opened, making them the perfect snack to throw in your diaper bag for any snack emergencies that come your way.
Get the variety pack to try all 10 flavors, or stock up on your child’s fave, whether they love the sweet flavor of strawberry-banana or the veggie-loaded apple, pea, & spinach pouch.
Applesauce To-Go (Made With 100% Fruit)
These are way easier (and less messy) to carry around than applesauce cups, and you don’t have to sacrifice any of that signature sweetness and smoothness your toddler loves. In addition to the classics (apple-apple and apple-cinnamon), these applesauces also come in fun flavors like apple-strawberry and apple-berry.
Cheerios
Cheerios are a classic snack for toddlers for a reason: They’re easy for tods to grab with their little fingers and swallow safely. Plus, they’re a great source of iron, calcium, and fiber. If you’re working on being more eco-friendly this year, opt for the big box of cereal instead and dish up those o’s in your favorite reusable snack bag. (I love these ones!)
Crunchy Veggie Straws
Veggie straws are a healthier alternative to many crunchy kid snacks, plus these ones come in convenient 1 oz packages to let your tod snack on the go. They’re made with real potatoes and other veggies and have less fat than similar snack foods. Oh yeah, and kids (and adults) love them.
Cereal Puffs
These cereal puffs are perfect for little eaters – the size and shape of the cereal makes it easy for tods to feed themselves. Plus, they’re made with whole grains and organic veggies & fruit to ensure your tod’s snack is filled with the vitamins and minerals they need with none of the stuff they don’t.
The canisters are even designed to fit easily in most cupholders (to help you survive long car trips with your toddler)!
Cheddar Bunnies Baked Crackers
These are legitimately so good. Like, your-toddler-will-love-these-but-so-will-you good. You can bring the joy of Cheddar Bunnies to your home in these convenient grab-and-go single serving pouches or stick to the bigger box for less plastic waste.
Fruit Snacks
Fruit snacks are a classic snack for kids, but these ones from Annie’s kick the gummy game up a notch. These bunny fruit snacks are vegan (yup, no gelatin!), gluten-free, and are made with real fruit juice. That means, no high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, or artificial flavors or colors!

Yogurt To-Go
Squeezable yogurt has been a classic snack for the on-the-go kid for ages (remember eating Go-Gurt as a kid?) and it’s still standing strong. These yogurt tubes by Siggi’s are awesome because they have less sugar than your average kid’s yogurt – only 6 grams per serving!
Cheese Sticks (aka Portable Protein)
Toddlers need protein for healthy muscles and to stave off those mid-morning, hunger-fueled temper tantrums. Cheese sticks to the rescue! Cheese and crackers? Yum. Cheese and fruit? Yes, please. Or just grab one of these cheddar cheese sticks for your little one (and an extra one for you) and you’re good to go!
Crispy Seaweed Snacks
Let’s keep it real: Your kid will either love or hate these. But don’t be shocked if they can’t get enough. (I’ve met more toddlers who liked these than not in my teaching days!) These snacks are perfectly packable, too – just toss some in a baggie (like this cute unicorn one) or snack container and go!
And, Of Course, Fresh Fruit…
Kid-friendly faves in the fruit family include: Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries (cut off the leafy tops for less mess on the road), blackberries, apple slices, avocado chunks (yeah, it’s technically a fruit), and peeled cuties.
Hate packing your kid’s fruit in a sandwich bag and ending up with a squishy, soggy mess? These stainless steel containers are perfect for transporting fruit (and other snacks).
And Veggies!
Happy Snacking!
Hope you loved these on-the-go snack ideas for your toddler. Now, it’s your turn – share your lil one’s favorite snack in the comments!
