Healthy Snacking On The GoHaving easy fresh snacks at hand as a parent on the go... not as easy as it sounds sometimes! This is the method that I found works best for us. |
We get groceries every Sunday morning. When we come home, the chicklet does an activity while I do some food prep for the week.
I wash all my fruit at once and store it for easy grabbing. This saves me from having to wash fruit each time we go in for a handful, and makes sure the chicklet has healthy snacks within seconds for those times where all I hear is 'MOOOOOOM I'M HUNGRY!' and a meltdown is looming.
Here's the best way I've found to keep fruit clean, fresh, east to grab and not go mouldy. |
We found that this easily reduced our need to grab packaged food like crackers and chips when the chicklet gets hangry. Also, this method seriously helps keep the fruit fresh and not go mouldy as fast while in the fridge. Strawberries that used to get shriveled and mouldy within days are now lasting almost a week! This saves me TONS of time, gives the chicklet healthy snacks at home, makes packing food on the go super quick and easy - and keeps junk food grabs to a minimum. #Winning.
