We went to the beach yesterday afternoon with our neighbor, Beth, and her 2 kids (of course it rained). Anyway, any mom knows you can't go with a bunch of kids to the beach without taking food. It's messy enough going to the beach as is though, so why make things even messier by packing a bunch of messy snacks? Sure, it might be super easy to pack a bag of junky chips or a sugar-laden granola bar that has the nutritional equivalent of a candy bar, but that wouldn't be optimal for the kids.
My new favorite non-messy and very nutritious beach snack find can be bought in bulk at Costco and the kids love it! The snacks are called Trio (because they contain nuts + seeds + fruit) and made by Mrs. May’s (www.mrsmays.com). These vegan, zero trans fat, no additives, no preservatives, no gluten, no wheat and no dairy bars come in several flavors and the ingredients are as pure and natural as they come. Here’s the ingredients for the blueberry bar: cashews, almonds, pistachios, blueberries, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dates, raisins, rice malt, natural flavors, cane juice, sea salt.
