Summer is packed with so many fun things to do and places to go. And whether that means family road trips, beach days with a babysitter, camps or everything in between, you know you have to pack the kinds of snacks that keep everyone happy during all these adventures. After a very busy couple of months of summer fun and travel, a staycation seemed like the perfect way to wind down our summer break. Make that a staycation with some really great snacks aka SNACKATION!

I partnered with the J.M. Smucker Company for this sponsored post to share my summer snackation ideas. I found everything I needed for my snackation at Walmart.

Summer Snackation Ideas

A few days of easy going fun close to home is just what we needed after a busy summer.

We have enjoyed watching movies, trips to the park, playtime in the pool and some outdoor reading. Some great leisurely fun, paired with delicious snacks.

My granddaughter could spend all day, every day at the park.

An afternoon at the playground works up an appetite. Check out some of my summer SNACKATION ideas:

Food + Fun

A fun day at the park or the pool calls for some yummy snacks. Smucker’s Fruit Fulls and Jif to Go Dippers are a favorite of ours for snacking on-the-go.

We love spending the morning outdoors with a good book and a good snack, before it gets too hot outside.

Have you tried Jif Whips yet? It’s such a yummy treat! My family likes to eat Jif Whips with apple wedges, celery sticks, graham crackers and more. The possibilities are endless.

I like to pull out some Uncrustables in the morning to thaw, for the perfect quick lunch.

Summer break is coming to an end soon and it is bitter sweet. We are looking forward to the school year ahead, but until then we’ll be squeezing every bit of fun we can out of summer.

What snacks do your children or grandchildren enjoy?

If you’re looking for some delicious snacks for your own SNACKATION, just drop by your local Walmart store and stock up.

    Jiff Whips are big in my house. They’re super tasty and super convenient.

    These are great ideas. Now that my son is in his teens, he tends to fend for himself, but I try to keep healthy stuff around.

    Wow! We are going to have to get some of these! We love going for road trips, to the beach and for picnics at the park! I’d much rather pack healthy snacks! I love the pretzels and peanutbutter option! 🙂

    Uncrustables are a huge lifesaver in our house! My kids can eat a box every few days lol

    My kids must be growing because they are eating me out of house & home. Need to stock up on the Jif products so some protein will keep them full longer.

    All of these snack ideas would be a hit with my kids. I need to start thinking about lunchbox sides and after school snacks, so these are great!

      Isn’t it crazy how quickly we are back in lunchbox season. These easy grab & go items make life easier.

    I haven’t tried the Jif whips yet, but I think my kids would like it with graham crackers too.

    My kids love yogurt melts and dried fruits! They’re a nutritious snack but they’re also tasty!
