The Chirping Moms

20 Simple Meal Ideas for Moms on the Go!

June 25, 2013

With summer season kicking in full swing, lunchtimes are often spent out at the park, pool, or picnicking somewhere.  We shared some On the Go snack ideas for kids recently with some great ideas to pack your kids in the lunchbox.  But, now we want to share some easy ideas for us moms.  I often neglect my own self, picking at the kids’ leftovers, but am trying hard to take care of my own body so I have enough energy to handle these three kiddos and get myself back into shape. (Why is this so hard the third time around?!)  
So read below for some super simple ideas for Meals for Moms on the Go!  You can mix and match from the list to make your own delicious lunch.  We would love for you to leave a comment with some of your own ideas that we could add to the list.  
20 Simple Meal Ideas for Moms on the Go: 

  • Deli Sandwiches
  • Strawberry Maia Greek Style Yogurt & Granola
  • Cereal or Granola Bars
  • Trail Mix (I really like to make my own with various ingredients, but often grab the pre-mixed ones from the store for a quick snack!)
  • Create Your Own Pita Pockets (Add egg salad, tuna salad, hummus, deli meat, veggies, and more!)
  • Pasta Salad
  • Fun and different Peanut Butter and Jelly alternatives
  • Vegetables and Dip
  • Tomato and Mozzarella Salad
  • Smoothies (We are sharing a new recipe below & click here for an old favorite!)
  • Wrap Sandwiches or Roll-Ups
  • “Kitchen Sink” Salads:  Mix and Match with whatever you have in the fridge!
  • Larabars
  • String Cheese/Cheese Cubes
  • Quinoa Salads
  • Meat and Cheese Kabobs
  • Sabra Grab and Go Packs
  • Crackers and Cheese with Assorted Fruit
  • Salads in a Jar
  • Apples and Peanut Butter
Courtney shared this great smoothie recipe with me and now I want to share it with you all, which is perfect for summer!
