25 Easy to Pack Travel Snacks

In our family, there is meal time, and there is snack time, and it often feels more importance is given to the latter. We have found that nothing satisfies a child (or adult) on the verge of a meltdown more than a quality snack. Here are some of our favorite travel snacks. Some of these work are perfect for bringing on the plane, and are great road trip snacks. Hopefully, even the pickiest of eaters and most food allergy sufferers will find something to satisfy them on this list.
