We are making a 5 hour drive to my home town next weekend. We are pretty much on the go when we are there. What are your best travel foods? Mine are

Juice Boxes, raisins, Rice chips/ cakes, fruit cups, a few puree packs (if I am desperate) thought about making some sweet Potato chunks to nom on, and Blue Berry Banana Bread muffins.

Do you have anything to add? C is 19 months old allergic to wheat, milk, eggs, and peanuts.

How can I add his allergies to my sig in the bottom?

    We use most of the things on your list.  And our allergy list is pretty much the same as yours.  We also do:

    - Barbara's "puffins" cereal.  It's GF and organic.

    -Enjoy life cookies

    -Glutano cereal bars

    -apple chips/other freeze dried fruit (my son thinks they are chips :) )

    -Kettle brand potato chips

    -I found a brand of non-GMO popcorn that's really good-https://www.amazon.com/Popcorn-Indiana-Salt-5-4-Ounce-Pack/dp/B004I8T2U4/ref=dp_cp_ob_gro_title_3  It was way cheaper in our local store than on-line though. 

    -Trader Joes sells freeze dried snap peas that are good. 

    -Van's french toast/waffles travel well (just thaw and go). 

    -My son loves Hotdogs and the Hebrew National ones and Apple Gate farms brand are safe.  I'll cut those into bite sized pices and stick them in the cooler.  He'll eat them cold (gross).

    to add the allergies you have to go to "my account" but it doesn't work for me. I get an error every time i try to change a photo or edit anything.. same issue on multiple pc's.. but i guess that's only me so hopefully you'll have better luck

     you mentioned great snacks..

    you can also make rice krispy treats (gluten free rice krispy cereal, marshmellow, safe chocolate chips, sunbutter)

    gluten free pasta (i always pack a small container with pasta and red sauce in a cooler.. my son loves it cold or room temp)

    Fruit (oranges, apples.. anything you can peel and cut)

    I always pack banana bread (but you have banana muffins in there already)

    Gluten free crackers and hummus

    Applesauce

    I recently heard that kashi makes fruit bars but not sure if they are gluten free

    I have top 8 allergy free bars at home but don't know the name.. so i can come back to you with that.

     

    here are some places you can buy gluten free treats taht are usually egg/milk/nut free

    I almost forgot- the Amy's brand Gluten free bunnies (chocolate and vanilla) are also dairy and egg free.  The Amy's fruit snacks are also safe but not sure if you LO can handle that texture yet.

    I love the little individual packs of hummus. I pack those with some cucumber slices, broccoli, and green beans for DD" s lunch. We also do bananas, any and all fruit- either fresh or fruit cups.

    There are bars called "AllerEnergy" and they make them in different flavors. 

     

    no peanuts, no gluten, no eggs, no dairy, no soy, no nuts, no fish, no corn. 

    And it actually tastes pretty good. My son was weirded out by the texture at first but liked it later on.
