Snacks are a must when traveling with kids, but finding quick gluten-free options on the road can be a challenge. Add in any other dietary restrictions, and these quick eats become much more difficult to find. With some planning and a small amount of preparation, it is easy to pack great snack options for the whole family. Each of these recipes is very customizable, so it’s easy to add your own spin to keep everyone happy.
