Road trip snack ideas

We recommend storing a cooler in the car with you so that you can keep your snacks fresh at all times. Great options for snacks include:

• Fruit: when you are craving something sweet, having apples, clementines, grapes or berries on hand can cure it! Make sure to pre-wash and cut them if necessary to make it easier to grab!
• Veggies: prepping some celery, cucumbers, carrots, snap peas, cherry tomatoes or broccoli can make it easier to grab when you want something crunchy. You can also pack single-serve packets of ranch or hummus if you don’t like your veggies raw.
• Proteins: To keep you feeling full for longer, grabbing protein-packed options like yogurt, cheese, jerky, almonds, or energy bars are all great options.

Drinks to pack include water (bonus points if you bring a refillable bottle!), juices with low sugar and no artificial flavors, or coffee drinks for when you need a caffeine boost.
