Summertime is in its prime and there is still plenty of time for outdoor activities. Whether you’re exploring your own backyard, road tripping or picnicking there’s no better time than now to appreciate some tasty treats, good company and summer fun! Here’s a list of three snacks that are easy to make and put together, on-the-go friendly, and kid and adult approved:
1. Bento Snack Box
A bento box is great for the summer, and so easy to pack up, you can personalize it with everyone’s favourites. If you need inspiration with what to put inside, consider our raincoast crisps® cranberry and hazelnut with diced marble cheese and fresh apples.
2. Crisps, Dips and Spreads
You can munch on our crisps straight from the box. Or you can enjoy a tastier (and elevated) snack experience with a dip or spread of your choice. Our raincoast crisps® compliment a variety of flavours and are easily packable in a container. Try out these recipes for the road:
