On the go

When you're trying to feed your child a high calorie diet, snacks can be very challenging. Most easy snacks aren't high calorie AND easy to transport. Below is a list of snacks we find easy to travel with and aren't too nutritionally lacking.

• Cliff Z bar - 120 calories, 2.5g fat, 3g protein
