Staying Fueled on the Road
Jennifer Tave
When traveling, I always like to keep a few snacks on hand for situations when healthy food choices are not available. Real food >> packaged bars and snacks, but packaged bars are so easy to transport! Fortunately there are a few decent packaged options out there.
Here are a few of my favorite snacks:
Apples
Dates
Sprouted nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts…)
Almond or other nut butter packets
70%+ dark chocolate
Coconut chips
Jerky sticks
Epic bars and bites (gf, df, paleo)
Square bars (gf,df,vegan)
Rise protein bars (gf, Sunflower and Lemon Cashew df, vegan, paleo)
Olives
For short trips, or when refrigeration will be accessible upon arrival:
hardboiled eggs
pre-washed and pre-cut veggies (carrot sticks, snap peas, jicama…)
hummus
I also bring along some of my favorite herbal tea bags and my travel mug so that I can have some herbal tea on the go. Some of my favorite teas include dandelion root (great for detoxification) and ginger (anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea and digestion aiding).
Additionally, I bring my greens powder (I take Vitamineral Greens mixed with collagen protein (almost) daily) and a jar so that I make sure to continue to get plenty of nutrients even if I may not be eating quite as many greens and veggies when traveling.
What are your favorite travel snacks?
