Do you pack snacks for your family when you head out on the road? I sure do. Otherwise, we will be stopping at every fast food restaurant from here to forever. I make up a cooler full of drinks and a larger bag full of snacks while we’re at our destination. Then, I also make up a shoe box of snacks for each of us for our own little Snackation while we’re on the road!
Today, I’m going to give you a little sneak peak of my shopping trip to grab the snacks. Then stay tuned, and I’ll show you how I make the perfect snack box for our Snackation in a post coming soon!
Smucker’s New Fruit-Fulls are one of my personal favorite treats. I just love applesauce. Thankfully, so do my kids! I love these new treats because they are bigger than the average applesauce pouch. Just one is filling enough for each of us.
My kids favorite sandwiches are peanut butter and jelly. I love peanut butter and grape jelly, but they all seem to prefer the strawberry jelly version. When it’s time for preparing for the road trip, I always make sure to whip up some pb&j’s.
I am a total snob when it comes to peanut butter. Nothing compares to Jif. Even when I was a kid, it was my favorite. Now there’s Jif Whips which are amazingly light and fluffy and so delicious!
My husband is a Jif peanut butter lover, too. His favorite snacking treat is the little cups of Jif To Go. I pack him some snack bags of sliced apples and celery, and he’s in heaven. My 5 yr old love these little JIf To Go cups as well, though she just prefers a spoon.
For my teen, Jif To Go Dippers are one of her favorite snacks. She is a peanut butter and pretzel lover, so this is the perfect treat for her.
Last, but certainly not least, on my list of road trip snacks is my personal favorite – Smucker’s Uncrustables! I bought a box of Strawberry and a box of Grape. These are so perfect for their snack boxes because they start out frozen, and after a few hours on the road, they have defrosted to perfection!
Don’t forget to come back and see how I turn these snacks into the perfect Snackation on our road trip this summer!
If you’re headed out on the road this summer for a last minute vacation make Walmart your ‘SNACKATION’ Destination!
What’s your favorite snack for long road trips?

I love stocking up on snacks for road trips as they are always so much fun! I love Jif and dipping apples in the peanut butter!
I love Jif peanut butter and almost always have it in my pantry. I have tried the individual cups as well–love them–What I have yet to try are the Smucker’s Uncrustables–gotta go get some and try some!
Ohh – I’ve never had the uncrustables but have been hearing good things about it. Might have to pick some up next time I’m at the store.
I was never big on snacks but after our last 28 hour road trip I am definitely a lover of snacks. Thanks for sharing.
Love having snacks on hand to tick the miles off a little faster! Every snack stop you can skip and have without stopping is one moment closer to getting off of the road!
I had no idea that Smuckers made a squeeze pouch like this! They make some great products for kids and snacking!
I love grabbing a Jif To Go when I’m running late to work or somewhere and get a quick snack. I can definitely see this making a great road trip snack <3
I really need to try those Fruit Fulls. We do like those peanut butter to-go cups. Those are great for trips.
These are great snacks to bring on a road trip. Jif to go is one of our favorites.
Awesome snacks! Double love that they don’t have added sugar 😀 I think even I would enjoy them.
I totally have to pack snacks when we travel anywhere, even if its just a few hours away, my kids are bottomless pits. I’m gonna have to pick up these peanut butter dippers! They look so convenient.
I love the idea of a snackation. It’s best to enjoy a good meal on the road.
You are so right, if you don’t prepare for road trips then you end up eating so bad! I hate the way I feel after road trips of bad eating!
Oh yes, snacks shouldn’t be forgotten when going to road trips! Snacktation sounds like a great idea and I love the snacks you picked for your kids. Everything’s great!
These are great ideas for when traveling especially with kids. I have never try the Smuckers Uncrustables before but will have to try them for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Hehehe those jif to goes are the best!!! Hubby takes them to work all the time.
I like smuckers.
My favorite travel snacks are anything nuts and chips 🙂
Jif to go and uncrustables are my kids favorite snacks. I grab them, an apple and some pretzels or carrot sticks and we are set for a day at the park. Great snacks!
