Packing a backpack snack that survives the whole day

Backpacks are harsh places: heat, squishing and a sandwich that leaks. A good snack has to survive them, and a bit of planning keeps it that way.

Avoid the melt zone

Chocolate and soft cheese suffer in a warm bag. Gummies hold their shape better, but they should still stay out of direct sun and away from a hot car seat. Put them in the middle of the bag, not the outside pocket.

Portion it in a small container

A reusable snack cup or small zip bag prevents spills and keeps portions honest. A serving of Punchies is five gummies, listed on the label at 5g of protein and 34 calories. The full label is posted at kids protein gummies by Punchies.

Let your child own it

Kids who pack their own snack tend to eat it. Offer two or three choices, such as a fruit, a cracker and a serving of gummies, and let them fill the container.

A quick backpack checklist

Water bottle, snack container, napkin or wipe, and a small ice pack if the weather is warm. Check the bag at the end of the day so nothing ends up forgotten at the bottom. Related reading: How to evaluate a kids supplement brand on kidsproteinsupplement.com.
