Healthy Travel Snacks

So you decided to go on a trip. Whether you travel by car or plane there is no better way to pass the time than with some healthy snacks. Have you thought about the snacks you’re going to bring along with you? Strive for a balance of Protein, Fiber, Fat and Carbohydrates when snacking or eating a sit down meal while away.

Pre-portioned snacks like 100 calorie snacks or using snack size baggies filled with your favorite snack is a great way to prevent yourself from over indulging.

Car Snacks

• Bring along a cooler with ice packs to keep everything fresh.
• Water to keep hydrated
• Fruit (apple, pears, grapes)
• Vegetables (baby carrots, edamame, celery, radishes, cherry/grape tomatoes)
• Instead of regular greasy potato chips swap for baked chips which contain less fat, but watch your quantity as they’re not that healthy
• Protein Bars, Nutri-Grain Bars
• Individual Wrap String Cheese (keep in cooler)
• If you bring sandwiches, make them with whole grain bread and peanut butter or lean meat (mayo and sauces on the side)
• Nuts or Seeds

Plane Snacks

• Protein Bars, Nutri-Grain Bars
• Pretzels (pre-portioned)
• Turkey Jerky
• Fruit
• Sandwiches made without meat or mayonnaise
• Make sure that the snacks you take on the plane will fit in your carry-on bag and will be able to last the duration of the your trip.

Hope this helps you out the next time you’re planning your trip for yourself or with friends and family. Remember, with a little willpower you can stay away from junk and maintain your healthy eating habits. This way you’ll feel more energized and alert with these type of snacks instead of feeling fatigue, grumpy and end up with weight gain.
