Your summer may be winding down, as well as your summer travels, but if you have children on traveling sports teams or just like to take short weekend getaways, or even if your family just has a busy schedule, meals and snacks can often become unhealthy when on-the-go. How do you make sure your family maintains a healthy diet when you’re away from home? If you’re looking for new ways to keep everyone in the family going strong during busy times, here are some ideas:
Pack snacks and lunches at home to bring along when you know you’ll be away from home for a long period of time. This way, you know what goes into each meal or snack. By creating familiar items like roll-ups and snack mixes, your family won’t miss unhealthy fast food choices. One fun snack recently shared with me as part of the Hormel Extended Family Blogger program is Mixed Up Munchies. Since I’m already absolutely crazy for their pepperoni slices (especially the mini ones), this snack was just perfect!
Try Cranberry and Orange Chicken Wraps for an easy lunch in the car. These seemingly ordinary wraps pack a punch with refreshing citrus flavors.
Consider stocking up on fun games including Sudoku, crosswords and other puzzles for longer trips in the car. These attention-keeping games will keep the whole family entertained while sharpening their minds as you head back into the school year.
Check out sales at your local bookstore for great bargains on picture books, summer guides and other inexpensive goodies.
