Hi, Reader,

This is one of the busiest times of year for us. The kids are all in several activities. We are often rushing from one to the next, getting home late, and without a break for dinner.

For days like this, I send the kids with hearty snacks they can eat after school or in between activities. And for myself, I pack my dinner to go so I can eat while watching them do what they do.

It saves us from wanting to run through the drive-through on the way home or from starting dinner at 9pm at night!

All of the following recipes can be made ahead of time.

Here are some of our favorite hearty snacks that travel well:

• ​No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars (use sunflower seed butter if you need a nut-free option)
• ​Banana Snack Cake​
• ​Vegan Protein Muffins​
• ​Baked Oatmeal Muffins​
• ​Pumpkin Spice Granola (use cinnamon instead of pumpkin pie spice if you don't want the fall vibes).

Here are some of my favorite meals to take on-the-go:

Depending on how long you will be out, you may want to pack these in a small cooler with an ice pack. And don't forget napkins and utensils, if needed.

• ​Raw Veggie Chopped Salad (no leafy greens in this one so it won't wilt!)
• ​Easy Hummus Pasta (this is great warm, room temp, or cold).
• ​Curried Tofu Salad (served with crackers)
• ​Vegan Chickpea Salad (served with crackers)
• Snack box with baked tofu, hummus, carrot sticks, and some kind of fruit, usually berries, kiwi, orange slices, or grapes.
