He really loves them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798834 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 10:02:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 1798834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: when did your Lo start eating pinwheels? I thought my Lo would be too young but she's just a little younger than yours. </p> <p>C is only one but we do lots of cheese sticks or cubed cheese on the go. I try to have fresh fruit or a pouch too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798823 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:58:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 1798823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a lot of meat/cheese/crackers, fruit kabobs, veggies with hummus/dip, we also do tortilla rollups/pinwheels. LO loves them (and they are easy enough to make and snack on. I also make a black bean and corn salsa that is really yummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798805 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:50:18 +0000 Boheme 1798805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: That's how I eat mine! PB, banana, and sometimes some sunflower seeds :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798721 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:18:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1798721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinwheels or just "roll ups" (like a taco) are a great idea. Even just basic peanut butter and a banana would be a great lunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798707 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:14:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1798707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of time when we are out we just do an assortment of snack s and call it lunch. </p> <p>- Cheese Sticks<br /> - Rolled up lunch meat if you like that<br /> - Crackers<br /> - A couple jars of fresh fruit (blueberries, grapes, apple slices, etc)<br /> - Granola bars </p> <p>By the time we usually eat all that we never really miss a real "lunch". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798681 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:06:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 1798681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: We do this too!</p> <p>LO also loves chicken salad - especially with grapes. </p> <p>Pasta salad, hummus and veggies (or chips) are also big hits and travel pretty easily, especially if you have a cooler. </p> <p>Also,my LO *loves* cashews. They are not enough by themselves to constitute lunch, but they have more calories and good fats than some other snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798628 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:50:53 +0000 mediagirl 1798628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: pinwheels! Great idea! She has never had them so this should be interesting... :)<br /> @Weagle: dips are probably a great idea. I have some perfect size tupperware containers for dips!<br /> @Mamaof2: great idea! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798590 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:35:43 +0000 Mamaof2 1798590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to make my own "lunchables"</p> <p>cubed cheese<br /> rolled up deli meat<br /> cut up fruit<br /> raisins<br /> carrots and celery<br /> and a cookie - because well its yummy :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798578 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:31:00 +0000 Weagle 1798578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take carrot sticks with dips, chickpeas, fruit... It's hard right now because LO wants nothing but PB&amp;J at every single meal, so we pack a ton of stuff that doesn't get eaten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798549 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:22:29 +0000 Boheme 1798549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son loves pinwheels - whatever kind of tortilla or wrap spread with hummus, deli meat, and whatever kind of veggies. Roll up and then slice. </p> <p>We are huge fans of the cowboy salsa you listed - I make it almost every weekend for something to snack on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-kid-friendly-healthy-picnic-items#post-1798510 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:04:04 +0000 mediagirl 1798510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are out and about a lot on the weekends and I would prefer to take lunch with us (at least for our toddler) than eat out. I'm looking for some new ideas other than chips and sandwiches. </p> <p>I recently found Cowboy Salsa, which looks like a good item to throw into the cooler. Any other suggestions for healthy things to take with us for a day out of the house? </p>
