Onboard snacks for tots

By Rebecca Subbiah RD, LDN, cPT

October 2009

We just came back from a trip to Florida, and I wanted to share some great ideas for onboard snacks for little ones:

·Grapes- very portable, great finger food and rich in water.

·Freeze dried fruit and grains, lightweight and healthy.

·Raisins again easy to have in your handbag.

·Chocolate milk or regular milk you can buy this in the airport and then take it onboard, it’s a good idea to get a drink as it may take a while for the crew to serve drinks and hydration is vital.

·Applesauce again very portable and nutritious.

·Packs of mandarin oranges or any desired fruit.

·Rice cakes or favorite cookies, its always a good idea to take foods you know your little one enjoys as it will cheer them up and you know they will eat it!

·Fresh fruit, I always think bananas are great as they are filling.

·Dry cereals such as cheerios.

·Your child’s favorite sandwich or even a pasta salad. I love to mix tuna with vegetables, mayonnaise and pasta.
