Our older boys prefer cheese sticks and yogurt to most other things, but if we'd let them dig into bags of Fritos or packages of Pop-Tarts, I'm sure they'd inhale those instead.
Jake's preferences run almost exclusively to a jar of mixed nuts, peanuts or cinnamon pecans, but his true go-to snack is the big bag of dried fruit from Costco.
I'm not saying dried fruit is that healthy for you, but I'm relatively sure it's better for you than Pop-Tarts. So, I don't complain.
I'm going to wade my way through Meg's more than 240 comments so see what gems I find in there, but I wanted to ask you -- MY PEEPS, who are less judgey on average than the rest of the Internet seems to be -- what do YOU feed your kids or grandkids for snacks?
Quite frankly, there's a time and a place for a sweet, less-healthy snack, so if you have something to share along those lines, please don't let me stop you. We'll be driving about 12 hours to the beach and back in just a couple of weeks, and we like to pack our own snacks instead of relying on convenience stores ... so some of your advice might get used immediately!
