SunButter: A Packable Snack For Your Travels

I have no relationship with the companies whose products are described in this post, and these are products I discovered myself in the supermarket. Some of these products are available on Amazon, and if you do use a link on this page to make a purchase, I receive a small commission. That income helps me keep this site going.

Sunbutter Squeezable Packets

On Friday, I made a cavalier statement about letting the kids eat bread for lunch if they couldn't find something they liked in a local restaurant. That's not entirely true. On our family trip to Istanbul, I carried around a variety of goodies that made it easier for us to snack on the go, or to give the kids something nutritious to eat when nothing on the menu would do.

The real "lifesaver" was packable Sun Butter or Nut Butter. Every restaurant has bread, and most restaurants have either jam or honey. If you have one of these slim single-serving packets in your purse, you have the makings for a protein sandwich.

Two quick tips: Be sure to carry it in a ziplock bag - though I never had one split on me, I imagine that peanut butter oil would make a goopy, hard to clean mess. And speaking of a big goopy mess, kids are messy eaters - even if you would use a nut butter at home, consider traveling with sunflower seed butter or soy butter to avoid leaving oils on the table that could make another child ill.
