21 Healthy, No-Prep Foods To Pack For Gymnastics Meets and Dance Competitions- Clean Eating On The Go

Clean Eating For Gymnasts or Athletes On The Go

As my son enters his 10th year of competition as a gymnast, I’ve got packing the snack bag down to a science- serious clean eating for gymnasts on the go! If you want to read more about the excuses I USED to make, you can read my full blog post about nutrition for the weekend on the go here. In addition to the grocery list below, I recommend packing a small container with a few bags for storing garbage, sets of plastic silverware, and a handful of sandwich size baggies.

For this post, I’m simply providing a list of 21 NO PREP, healthy foods to stash for your weekend meet or tournament….clean eating for gymnasts on the go.

Full Shopping List– Mix and Match and Enjoy!

1. Bag of Mini Cucumbers
2. Individual bags of baby carrots (you can get a large bag too, but the little bags are handy)
3. Pint of blueberries
4. Bag of Sugar Snap Peas
5. Small container of pomegranate seeds (Trader Joe’s has these all prepared in little cups)
6. Chobani tubes of yogurt (Gimmies)
7. Container of cherry tomatoes
8. Bag of mini-BabyBel cheese
9. Bag of string cheese or individually wrapped small cheeses of your choice
10. Pre-sliced apple slices- you can take some small whole apples instead if you prefer

12. Sargento Balanced Break (huge variety to choose from; contains cheese, nuts)- Target and Aldi are starting to have their own brand of these as well
13. Edamame – we get ours from Trader Joe’s in the frozen section and just eat it after it thaws
