I would like some ideas / recipes for snacks for the beach.? Maybe some kind of snack mix is kid-friendly and easy to carry.
My kids love the Cheez-It Party Mix. Sometimes we add M & M's.
Blueberry Trail Mix .. get all your stuff and mix until fav .. dried fruits and m & m's ..... gold fish, chopped apples in advance so they are ready to eat ... grapes and good and cold .. freeze them before leaving
Dry foods, cold foods. get any sand to make plates and make the children sit to eat, not carried in a bag of chips you're all sharing. Cold pizza is good at the beach.
trail mix or dried fruit, cookies, fruit snacks, chips. If you bring a cooler, fresh vegetables or pita sandwiches are nice.
