Whether you’re going on a road trip or a vacation, you always have the opportunity to snack the smart way by packing nutritious, filling, and tasty snacks!
Healthy snacking comes down to REAL FOOD. When we don’t have healthy snacks planned for our trips, we typically choose foods from convenient rest stops. Usually, these carb-loaded choices leave us feeling hungry due to their lack of protein and fiber.
Planning healthy road trip snacks can help prevent grabbing overpriced foods from convenient rest stops and gas stations. Packing your own snacks not only gives you healthier options, but it keeps you on track with your own health goals and leaves you feeling energized for your traveling adventures.
Focus on snacks that contain protein, fiber, and healthy carbohydrates.
