Packing for a family holiday can be stressful, but one thing you shouldn’t overlook is snacks. Whether it’s to keep hunger at bay during long journeys or to avoid overpriced airport treats, the right snacks can make all the difference.
The Crisp Conundrum: Which Flavours Travel Best?
Not all crisps are created equal when it comes to travel. Opt for sturdy varieties like kettle chips or thicker-cut options that won’t turn to crumbs in your bag. Classic flavours like salt & vinegar or cheese & onion are always crowd-pleasers.
Chocolate: The Ultimate Mood Booster
A well-chosen chocolate bar can be a lifesaver during travel delays or grumpy moments. Avoid anything too melty—dark chocolate or chocolate-covered biscuits are ideal for warmer destinations.
Healthy(ish) Alternatives
For parents looking to balance treats with nutrition, consider:
- Dried fruit mixes
- Nut-free cereal bars
- Mini rice cakes
Packing Like a Pro
Keep snacks accessible in clear, resealable bags. Separate crunchy items from softer ones to prevent crushing, and always pack more than you think you’ll need—hungry kids (and adults) can go through snacks surprisingly fast.
With these tips, your family can enjoy stress-free snacking from departure lounge to destination.
