Spring is in full bloom and that means it’s baseball season! Three of my four grandsons are playing baseball again. The fourth grandson prefers golf. I have visions of them all going pro one day. Wink.
For now, I’m busy trying to keep track of their baseball schedules. Often, I find myself running from field to field within the baseball complex. Does that count as exercise? That’s why I’m always prepared with effortless portable snack solutions for busy moms (and grandmas).
Have you ever visited a concession stand at a baseball game? Temptation reins supreme! I get nervous when my oldest grandson is pitching and if I’m not prepared, I’ll end up at the concession stand ordering snacks I don’t want or need.
It truly does pay to be prepared! That’s why I’m giving you a sneak peek into my game-day backpack.
What’s in my Backpack
Sunglasses, Sunscreen & Lip Balm
The sun can be brutal! I never venture outside without my sunglasses and a small bottle of sunscreen. I usually slather on the sunscreen before I leave home. When I’m traveling to a double-hitter or an all-day tournament, I need more. I’m constantly reapplying the lip balm in order to keep these lips soft and moisturized.
Season Tickets
When I’m rushing out the door to a home game, I always have my season tickets. It saves time and money. I don’t have to search my backpack for cash and they don’t take debit cards. Dang.
Camera or Smartphone
No, I don’t surf the web during the game (unless it’s boring – shhh), but I do make sure my phone is fully charged. I take my big-boy camera with the zoom lens to a few of the games to make sure I get some pro shots of the grandkids.
Portable Snack Solutions
Did I mention that baseball games can go on forever? Games usually start in the late afternoon and aren’t over until after dark. That’s why I always have portable snacks with me and my favorite is LALA Wild Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie. It’s a little tart, a little sweet and a lot creamy and yummy. LALA Wild Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie is made with real strawberries and has 5 grams of protein. It’s the perfect treat while watching the game, no spoon needed.
LALA Yogurt Smoothie is an on-the-go, portable convenient snack that’s found in the dairy section of your local Walmart. I always stock up on LALA Yogurt Smoothies and my favorite nuts when I’m shopping at Walmart. Check this store locator to find out where to buy a delicious LALA Yogurt Smoothie in your area.
Helpful Hint: Â Print a coupon and save money when you purchase LALA Yogurt Smoothies.
Comfy Fold Up Chair
Baseball games are long and bleachers are hard. Obviously, my fold up chair won’t fit in my backpack, but it’s always in the back of my SUV. Plus, it has a built-in beverage holder that’s perfect for my LALA Wild Strawberry Smoothie.
These days, when the concession stand is calling my name, I keep cheering for my team because I have my own portable snack solutions and my snack’s better for me than theirs!

These smoothies sound awesome. I am always on the go and snacks that I can grab and take with me are perfect.
I’ll have to try the LALA drink – I’ve actually been looking for a good snack solution for quite some time. I get hungry easily and my blood sugars tend to drop. This would be great to have on-the-go.
This time of year we never know what the weather will be like. Snacks, sunglasses, sun screen, blankets, chairs, jackets all get put in the car.
I love this brand – I tried them last summer. Portable snacks are everything! For me it’s sunscreen, lip gloss, snacks, sunglasses, my phone, some cash, boom!
Mmm, this sounds delicious. I love smoothies so I’ll be picking this up. My daughter played baseball once and then said she didn’t want to do it again. She didn’t like the waiting around.
I was a baseball mom for 3 years, and yes, the games can last forever. Once Kyle decided he’d had enough of the “politics” of high school baseball, I was pretty relieved! I love premade smoothies for a quick snack. I’ll have to see if this brand is around here.
It sounds like you have game snacks down and how declicious does the smoothie sound! It is so much easier to resist temptation when you have something on hand already.
The yogurt smoothie looks like a good snack to take along. Healthy and refreshing and I love that it is made with natural fruit. I’ll let my cousin know about this too. Her son is so much into baseball!
Those Yogurt Smoothies would be perfect to take on our upcoming trip. I love snacks that I can pack and take, saves time from stopping when we’re driving.
These LALA Wild Strawberry Yogurt Smoothies sound like a great snack idea for busy moms and kids. I will have to share this post with my niece for her son who just started baseball. Thanks for sharing the snack idea.
Great advice for those long afternoons on the bleachers. I love baseball…and track. Wish I currently had a kid involved with them so I could stake it out with my sunscreen and snack.
I would love this portable yogurt smoothie! Looks really delish!
I love baseball growing up but my kids have not shown interest in it, I wish they would. These are great tips, I could apply this to football season for my son.
I love taking pictures at my kids’ games too – it helps pass the time too! The yogurt smoothies look like they are the perfect snack solution!
I love this! I have feed my kids many a dinner from the baseball concession stands and it is not a healthy place!
I always make sure I bring my own snacks when attending a baseball game of my sons. It is not only economical, it also ensures that you eat healthy!
I’m always on the go, having a quick snack option such as LALA yogurt smoothies is ideal. Never thought as a mom I’d eat more in my car than I do at home some days, but it happens! 🙂
NIce post, that is the perfect solution for the busy mom, really appreciate your efforts.
