Spring Outings Essentials

As the weather warms up, it's time to prepare for exciting spring adventures. Let's explore the must-haves for your outdoor excursions, focusing on allergen-free snacks that everyone can enjoy.

Packing Healthy Snacks 

When packing for spring outings, choosing the right snacks is crucial. Allergen-free options are key to ensuring everyone can partake in the fun. Start by selecting a variety of nutrient-dense foods that travel well. Fresh fruits and vegetables are excellent choices... Next, include protein-rich snacks like seed butters or legume-based dips to keep energy levels steady throughout your adventure. These options are not only allergen-free but also packed with nutrients .Don't forget to pack plenty of water to stay hydrated during your spring activities. 

Creating Family-Friendly Treats

Making treats that the whole family can enjoy is easier than you might think.  Start with simple swaps like using sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter, or Oat milk in place of dairy. These alternatives maintain flavor while keeping treats safe for those with allergies. Get creative with fruit-based desserts. Frozen banana "nice cream" or berry compotes are naturally sweet and allergen-free, perfect for a spring day treat. Involve kids in the preparation process - this makes the experience more fun and also teaches them about inclusive eating habits from an early age. Psst - we've also sourced some inspo so you don't have to!
