Say goodbye to boring snacks and hello to excitement
Is it time to step away from calorie-dense, processed snacks? Have you had enough of bread, chips, and crackers? Life is too short to eat beige snacks! Take your family’s school holiday adventures to the next level by saying goodbye to boring snacks and hello to exciting new flavours. Rethink your snack options and give your family that much-needed energy boost on busy school holiday getaways without the sugar crash. High protein jerky snacks come in a convenient pouch, require zero preparation, and can be eaten on the go so there is no need to stop the fun, wherever your adventures take you.
Packing tips for your jerky-filled getaway
When travelling with kids, having a bag packed with snacks is not just a good idea, it’s a necessity! Whether you are packing a cool box for a long-distance road trip or preparing snacks for a day exploring the great outdoors, bear these three snack-packing tips in mind.
Always include protein
Not only is protein essential for children’s growth and development and ensuring a healthy immune system, it’s also great for keeping tummies feeling fuller for longer. Jack Link’s jerky is a high protein, satiating snack that is perfect for enjoying between meals when cravings hit.
Avoid snacks loaded with sugar
Aside from the obvious implications regarding dental health and obesity, anyone who has been around children long enough will know that the sugar crash that comes after the sugar high is best avoided, especially when you have a busy day of fun planned!
Avoid perishables
When space is limited, avoid anything that is likely to become inedible if it is squashed or bounced around in your snack pack – unless bruised and mushy bananas are your thing! Similarly, if you are planning a day of outdoor exploration, opt for snacks that do not require refrigeration. Dried fruit, nuts, apples, and jerky are all great options.
