We’ve just returned from a blissful 48 hours on Hamilton Island, it feels like a dream, but thankfully I took HEAPS of photos and videos so I’ll get to re-live the joy over and over again. In the meantime, these are the travel snacks we took for the kids, plus an Orange Bliss Balls Recipe.
The flight from Melbourne to Hamilton Island was 3 hours, so we only needed a snack to see us through from our airport breakfast to lunch on the island.
We took:
- Chopped Cucumber
- Grapes
- Ginger Biscuits
- Nut Snacks
- Orange Bliss Balls

- 8 Pitted Medjool Dates, cut into quarters
- 1/2 Cup Walnuts, roughly broken up
- 1/2 Cup Finely Dessicated Coconut
- Zest of 1 Orange
- Juice of 1/2 Orange
- Place all of the ingredients into a food processor fitted with an “S” blade.
- Process until smooth and combined, scraping down the sides if needed.
- Once a giant ball has formed, carefully remove from the food processor.
