Healthy Eating on the Road: Snacks You Can Take With You
Traveling means discovering new places, reuniting with loved ones, and creating beautiful memories… However, consuming unhealthy snacks during long hours of car travel can spoil your enjoyment. So, what are the healthy snacks that keep you full and energized?
In this article, we have listed practical and nutritious snacks you can take with you for healthy eating on the road.
1. Nuts and Dried Fruits: Natural Energy Boosters
Nuts like hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, and dried fruits such as apricots, dates, and figs are rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Prepare them in small packs for easy consumption.
Tip: Choose unsalted and raw varieties for a healthier option.
2. Homemade Sandwiches
Using whole grain bread instead of white bread, homemade sandwiches are more filling and keep you full longer. Add protein sources like low-fat cheese, smoked turkey, or boiled eggs.
3. Fresh Vegetables
Sliced cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes offer a refreshing alternative on the road. Pair them with hummus or yogurt-based dips for a healthy snack.
4. Fruit Boxes
Portable fruits like apples, bananas, and grapes help quench your thirst and boost your energy with natural sugars. Wash and pack them in storage containers beforehand.
5. Granola Bars and Oat Cookies
Homemade sugar-free granola bars or oat cookies are great options to curb hunger on long trips. If buying packaged ones, don’t forget to check the ingredient list!
6. Water and Natural Drinks
One of the most neglected but important things during travel is water consumption. Carry enough water and refresh yourself with homemade fruit-flavored drinks.
Bonus: Food Storage Tips
- Use insulated bags especially in summer for food safety.
- Consume perishable items quickly.
- Keep wet wipes or sanitizer handy to keep your hands clean.
