Look, food is life right?! It’s such an integral part of our lives and when travelling, we really do love to eat. But sticking to your usual mealtime routine with kids is hard, whether it’s an international holiday or a 4 hour road trip. When visiting foreign countries, it’s sometimes hard to find food that my daughter enjoys and let’s be honest, the novelty of a McDonalds nuggets happy meal does wear off eventually. She does enjoy a good curry and naan though (no surprise there) and we do tend to look for Indian restaurants no matter where in the world we are. Because there ain’t no food like home food.
But it’s also important to get them to eat healthy because the last thing you want is a constipated toddler on holiday – trust me! Let’s just say asking a pharmacist for toddler suppositories in Hong Kong isn’t as easy as one would assume.
Here’s are some of my favourite convenient and healthy toddler snacks to pack in our carry on and checked luggage when we travel abroad:
- Rhodes Squish (in multiple flavours)
- Nuts and Biltong
- Woolworths Quinoa Pop Chips
- Woolworths Fruity Bites (made with fruit juice)
- Woolworths Fruity Bites (dried fruit)
Disclaimer: you may not be able to take biltong into certain countries but you can most certainly enjoy it on the plane.
