Top 5 Soccer Snacks

March 12, 2010   3 Comments

Soccer moms are asked to bring snack to fuel their little athletes. Recently, through Twitter, I received a plea.

From MamaBeard:

Help! Son has soccer tourney on Sat. Noon-10 p.m. What are ur 3 fav on-the-go snacks that I can share w/all my soccer mom friends? Thx!!

Wow, an all day tournament! That is fantastic. I used to play a sport called Ultimate, and our tournaments ended at 6 PM or so. (I guess they have lights on the fields).

Okay, I have a few suggestions for snacks to keep these budding soccer stars going. If you have time, you can make:

1. Energy Bar Recipe

Otherwise, the usual suspects are great and helpful for a long day of running around:

2. Banana
3. Orange
4. Apples

Just bring a cutting board, a knife, and some Ziplocs and your child can grab a slice on the go.

Energy bars are a tricky subject. I ran all day and never missed them, so I think they are expensive and unnecessary. BUT, if you must bring them, I would stay away from PowerBar and buy:

5. Lara Bar

Please share your Soccer Snack ideas.
