Re: Car food?!
I buy snacks in bulk and give my kids cups. I keep a big box of all the non-perishable snacks in the back of the van and refill at rest stops. We have a small box in the middle row.
Cut up veggies
Fruit
Wholly Guacamole/Hummus/salsa - I freeze before we leave and use as ice packs the first day, same with drink boxes (Chi-Chi's makes individual salsa cups that can be frozen)
For longer trips, I take whatever I would stock in the pantry for a power outage. I'm normally reticent to buy individual serving size things, but I make exceptions for long trips.
Cereal (the store brand Chex is a favorite, and at $2/box super affordable.)
Tasty Bite Indian Food pouches - these can be easily microwaved at a motel, but I'm not sure what is dairy free.
canned Baked beans
Refried beans in a can - add tortilla chips and salsa for lunch
olives - the single serve ones are actually pretty good
