Good foods to bring on a road trip?


Quote  |  Reply

Hi!  I have a long drive ahead of me tonight and does anyone know of any healthy/ lower cal snacks to bring? What are your favorites? I know I'll get hungry but don't want fast food.

Thanks!

I usually pack a peanut butter & jam sandwich or wrap or a tuna wrap so I know I'll have at least one lunch on hand. For snacks, baby carrots & carrots are a must have. Mixed nuts with raisins are another good option. And Larabars.

Thanks for the ideas!

Beef jerky!  And fruit like apples and bananas.  My personal favorite is dried bamboo, but I"m not sure if it's readily available to you.

I have to go on long road trips all the time for my new job and I usually take Protein bars, almonds, beef jerky, an apple or banana, wasabi peas, pretzels or a peanut butter sandwich.

I second the beef jerky, nuts, carrots, and fruit, and add boiled eggs and cheese (yes, you have to take a cooler, but it gives you more flexibility!)  Bring low-cal drinks too, like water and tea, so you aren't tempted to stop and get a soda (a big thing for us)

ooh more replies, thanks! I like the PB and J idea and beef jerky, almonds, carrots bananas and apples. I think I'll stick with water and diet coke (for caffeine) to drink. 

Before or During a road trip I Always go to WHOLE FOODS and buy some of their prepared foods!!! It's delicious and fills me up perfectly so I can take on the open road! ha ha!

Fruit (fresh or dried), veggies (carrots, celery, etc), peanut butter sandwiches, granola bars, nuts, trail mix, protein bars, crackers, depending on how long you'll be driving you could bring boiled eggs

I would reconsider the PB & "J", just because it gets sticky.  And nothing that gets gloppy (tuna & egg salad).  The rest of the suggestions sound great.
