Snacking on the Go

Elara has officially started walking. At first, it wasn’t so bad since she would only walk a few steps and then plop down onto the floor, but now she is pacing back and forth in our tiny apartment! Not only that, our park visits have become more frequent and longer now that she’s more independent and can walk around on her own.

I guess it’s kind of a good thing for me. Gone are the days where I’m trying to find a snack that I can eat with one hand and shovel into my mouth as fast as I can. Park visits have now secretly become my favorite time to eat. Elara is off playing with her friends while I can relax and have a quick snack. I’m a mom on the go, which means snacks are practically my meals! Anything I can throw into my diaper bag and take with me to the park and eat while my little one plays is a winner!

My latest obsession has been Philadelphia Bagel Chips & Cream Cheese Dip! I’m from the Northeast so I hold bagels and cream cheese very near and dear to my heart. I grew up eating 2 bagels a day all throughout high school and college! Bagels were the perfect college food – cheap and filling! Sadly, bagels on the west coast just don’t do it for me, but Philadelphia Bagel Chips & Cream Cheese Dip still gives me that comforting feeling of being back home.

I usually buy a couple of them (find them in the refrigerated dairy section) and put them in my fridge and grab them on the way out along with a snack for Elara. Each snack pack comes with multigrain bagel chips and flavored cream cheese dip. I love the savory cream cheese dips (chive & onion, garden vegetable). For all those cinnamon raisin bagel fans out there, they have sweet flavors like brown sugar & cinnamon and strawberry! The best part is that they contain no artificial flavors and are made with real fruits and veggies!

Bagels are my ultimate comfort food and with Philadelphia Bagel Chips & Cream Cheese Dip I can revisit my college days while I sit there watching my baby girl bathe herself in sand in the sand pit. This momma needs all her energy and that starts with yummy snacks that’ll keep me fueled! And now that she’s walking, I need all the energy I can get!  

What your favorite snack for when you’re on the go?
