How old for? DS is 29wks and he has rice cakes, cheese sticks and the Organix range of sweetcorn rings etc...

Watching with interest as am stumped for convenient food at home and out and about.

Oh and rice cakes when they were under a year. Now she's that bit older I think she deserves something that doesn't taste like packing material

Bananas, breadsticks, organix bars, have just started with Cheerios and plain sultanas (she's 13m)

Dry cereal like shreddies or cheerios

It's not quite like giving Haribo though, dried fruit and yoghurt at least has some nutrients in, Haribo doesn't apart from boiled horse. I always feel like sugar, and to a certain extent salt, gets traded against the benefits of what they are eating.

Also malt loaf - you can get the banana one wrapped in individual bars. Yum and lactose free (last time I checked!).

We have awful teeth problems here so I am very aware of it, nextphase!

Breadsticks

Not really thought about the sugar content, but yes, they probably are fairly high in the sugar levels!

sticks of cheese and cucumber take about 30 secs to do

with respect, yoghurt covered raisins are full of sugar and awful for teeth. You might as well give haribo

Goodies cereal bars
Raisins
Cheese strips or babybell - put in cooler part of bag next to water bottle normally so as not to melt or get too warm.
Individual packaged biscuits - these are a real treat and used when going somewhere I need DS quiet or well behaved
Satsuma or mandarin

Dried apples and pears are ace.
You can also get loads of other dried fruits - LO like cherries and sultanas.

Bananas
Babybel cheese
banana muffins - make a batch up with half the recommended sugar when you have a load of overripe bananas, and freeze. On your way out, grab a frozen muffin. Will defrost in time to eat a couple of hours later (well, in the summer!)
Yoghurt covered rasins (if old enough)
Other dried fruit - I loved apples and pears as a child.

Things that you can just grab and go with no preparation. Our's at the moment are breadsticks, rice cakes and dried apricots, but looking for inspiration!
