These easy, healthy, individually-wrapped beach snacks are perfect for kids, offering a mess-free, nutritious, and fun way to snack on the go during beach days or picnics.

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat or spinach tortilla wraps (8-inch size)
  • Natural peanut butter or almond butter (smooth or chunky, no added sugar)
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, just a drizzle)
  • Bananas (sliced thinly, ripe but firm)
  • Fresh strawberries or blueberries (washed and patted dry)
  • Cheese slices (mild cheddar or mozzarella, thinly sliced)
  • Mini whole-grain crackers
  • Baby carrots or cucumber sticks (pre-washed and cut)
  • Individual snack bags or parchment paper (for wrapping)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup (64 g) of peanut butter or almond butter with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey or maple syrup if using. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  2. Place one 8-inch (20 cm) whole wheat tortilla flat on your cutting board. Spread about 2 tablespoons (32 g) of the nut butter mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
  3. Arrange thin banana slices (about 1/4 of a medium banana), a handful of sliced strawberries or blueberries (about 1/4 cup or 40 g), and a slice of cheese if using, in a line across one edge of the tortilla.
  4. Starting from the fruit end, roll the tortilla tightly but gently to avoid squeezing out the filling. The goal is a snug wrap that holds together.
  5. Place each rolled snack on a piece of parchment paper about 6×6 inches (15×15 cm), then fold the edges over tightly, like a little package. If using snack bags, slip the roll inside and seal.
  6. Portion baby carrots or cucumber sticks into small snack bags or containers. Add a handful of whole-grain mini crackers for crunch.
  7. Store all individually wrapped snacks in a cooler or insulated bag to keep fresh and ready for beach snacking.

Notes

If making ahead, slice bananas right before assembling or toss slices in lemon juice to prevent browning. Warm nut butter slightly if too thick for easier spreading. Roll wraps tightly to avoid filling spilling out. Keep snacks chilled with an ice pack to maintain freshness.
