What are your portable, healthy, non-refrigerated snacks?

I've got some traveling ahead of me and I am a total grazer, which becomes more of an issue when traveling! At home/work, I keep lots of healthy stuff on hand so i can grab something when I need it. But in a car or plane, what works? I'm going to try to increase what I eat at meal time but I'd like to have something on hand to tide me over in case I underestimate what I need to keep from getting too hungry before the next meal.

So I'm looking for ideas on things I can carry with me. TIA.

I usually bag up some cereal and have a SF red bull when I drive 200+ miles for an assignment each week....haha

for me its graze or fall asleep at the wheel...I pick graze

I like protein bars, granola, and Fiber One bars (try them, they're REALLY tasty). Aim for high-fiber high-protein treats.

baby carrots, bananas, oranges, apples, peanut butter sammiches. These should all keep pretty well, assuming you eat them within the day.

Prunes, they even have those individual bagged ones now!  Mind you if you eat too many make sure you're close to a rest room! They are sooooo sweet and delicious! Just 90 cal for 5 and very portable.

You could always go for granola bars! Something like Nature's Valley or Luna Bars. Cliff bars keep me full for a REALLY long time.

I can't do energy bars. They don't satisfy my hunger and they're relatively high calorie items; at least compared to more filling options like fruits and vegetables.

Babybel minis or string cheese, bananas, grape tomatoes, peanut butter sandwiched between crackers, grapes (taken off the stems, of course) or even those packets of tuna with some pita chips or crackers.  Enjoy!

aw i was going to say fiber one bars too, but someone beat me too it. yummy.

beef jerky is awesome on the go snack and full of protein (but be aware of sodium).

they make 100 calorie packs of almonds now, and craisins. i'd say get a big bag (cheaper) but if you're a grazer like me that's a bad idea. gotta love portion control.

that's about all i have.

THere are so many options. I went away from home for 3 days last week and did realtivly well. I just measured out all my snacks before I left and I use those snack size zipper bags. That way no matter what I ate I only had one portion per sack and didn't have to worry about going over.

Dried fruit - dates, apricots, prunes along with seed or nuts - sunflower or pumpkin seeds, almonds or brazil nuts. I guess if you took away the dates (or the pits, anyway) added raisins and dark chocolate chips you'd have a trail mix. Chips would melt though. Why stop there when there are banana chips, dried apples, walnuts, dried mango, etc. . . .

Pre-measuring into portion-sized bags seems like a good way to go, though that seems super organized!

Trail mix and nuts, measured into individual portions so you don't eat ten thousand calories worth all at once... fiber one bars or nature valley bars (I love the 'salty/sweet peanut bars'), 100-calorie packs of nibblies (not worth buying usually but very convenient for travelling), baby carrots, grapes, crackers, pretzels (I love the peanutbutter ones)...

Dry roasted edamame. It's like crack for me. My sister bought me a huge container at costco and I ate it all, spaced out in portions, but still! I am staying away for awhile now, but it good protein and 130 calories for 1/4 cup.

i have a small, soft-sided cooler that i use for road trips.  it's great for cheese, raw veggies, sandwiches, stuff like that, and i use frozen water bottles to keep it cool.

raw almonds and/or homemade granola bar

 

almonds, mini melba rounds, string cheese, raisins

All Bran Bites.  Cereal measured and portioned into ziplocs.  Fruit to Go strips.  Apple.  Bottled water. 

We usually take fruit (apples, oranges, grapes, and bananas travel well), reduced fat Triscuits, and trail mix (1 cup each corn chex, rice chex, and plain cheerios, 1 cup peanuts, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup pretzles, and 1 cup mm's or chocolate chips).  If I'm making it just for me I will reduce the chocolate to about 1/4 but I like a bit of sweet in there.  Sometimes I will also use honey nut cheerios instead of regular and leave out the chocolate.

I like to get small cans of corn and just eat that for a snack.  One 140 grams can is just 100 cals and it is very filling. Also try cooked greenbeans mixed with a tblspoon of peanutbutter while they are still warm and let them cool down. You can put them in a ziplock bag and they keep for over 24 hours. They are very yummie and filling.

Popcorn!  Pop it up and put it in zip locks, per serving size.  You can munch and munch. 

 

carrots carrots and more carrots! Sometimes I also pack sunny seeds, but they can be high calorie/high fat, especially if you go buck wild and eat the whole bag in one sitting. I'm not good with dried fruits because they are much too sweet for me. Celery is also very good, but make sure it's washed well!
