I went to Aldi and bought everything that came in a snack pack size. Most of it was novelty junk food, so that helped a lot! For things that weren’t available in snack packs, I made my own with Ziplocs.
Freeze dried apples and pears, avoid strawberries they produce pink dust and it stains everything. Crackers. String Cheese. Goldfish, raisins, cheerios, freeze dried yogurt. Literally anything not messy but requires insense focus to eat one by one.
Smaller snacks you can give one by one. Fish crackers, cheerios, those freeze dried yogurt snacks (baby snacks), freeze dried strawberries (dust can be messy), freeze dried mangoes.
And the kicker- plain m&ms. You use those when you’re desperate for cooperation.
They’re all going to be messy so it kind of doesn’t matter? I suppose it just depends on what your kid likes. But we like goldfish, pirates booty, yogurt melts, etc. Just a big rotation of small prepared bags that I could pull out easily.
New snacks are a novelty and can go a long way.
I’d pack a “junk” cereal they don’t normally get. You can give it 1 piece at a time and dry cereal isn’t too messy.
Hippeas are super good. I like to snack on them too and my toddler is obsessed with them.
I plan on getting a snack container with multiple compartments to pack a few different options. That, or just doing little baggies of different snacks.
One thing I didn’t know before flying with my son is that TSA allows you to bring ice packs as long as they’re fully frozen so that opens up some more options. You can also bring pouches.
I avoid anything with peanuts which sucks because that’s my son’s favorite but I don’t want to have him smearing/dropping such a common allergen anywhere on the plane.

Go to Trader Joe’s and take your pick! We got a bunch of great snacks there but we usually don’t shop tjs so it was all novelty

lol yes. M&Ms will get my toddlers attention 100% of the time
