I have a 6 year old who is tiny (42 inches and 40 pounds) that is starting 3 hour boys team gymnastics practices (4 days a week) soon. The coach will be gradually working him into this schedule.
I'm looking for ideas on snacks that are quick to eat, easy to pack, healthy, appealing to picky eaters, good for energy, and non-messy during gymnastics practice. He will have an early dinner before practice as practice isn't until 5:30 and lasts until 8:30, but I'm guessing he'll need something during practice for a snack. Am I guessing right that at his age and size, he'll need some type of quick snack to keep him going for practices?
