Nine Healthy Snacks for Road Trips


6. Protein Boost
Hard-boiled eggs provide an instant protein hit. They are both satisfying and filling.

7. A Sweet and Crunchy Treat
Unsweetened applesauce gets livened up with some walnuts thrown in.

8. A More Substantial Snack
Half an almond-butter sandwich on whole grain bread always hits the spot.

9. Drinks
It’s important to stay well-hydrated on the road. Honest Tea or Tzao bottled teas are good choices, or fill a thermos with your own iced tea, water with lemon, sparkling water with lemon or lime, or juice diluted with water (to cut down on sugar).

And if you must stop at a fast-food restaurant, check out our Summer Travel Survival Kit for good, better, and best healthy menu choices!
