On my recent trip to Iceland (travel details coming soon!) I carried a few of my favorite snack items. My research showed that the food options might be limited and while on a road-trip the stops might be far apart. Hence, a good opportunity for my to share what all I carried:
1. Protein Bars - They keep you full for longer. They give my some source of protein daily (as I am a vegetarian). And I like the Brownie Crunch from thinkTHIN Bars, as they almost taste like a a bar of Mars chocolate to me.
2. Dark Chocolate & Coconut Bites - Right before my trip, I was introduced to the - The GFB - food products, and the taste of one bite and I knew I had to bring them along. They were my dessert option post meal on the road trip.
3. Salted Almond - I love me some almonds. When the salt-craving strikes I need something immediately and if nothing healthy is handy, I am going to head right to the potato chips. Although that's not an issue while traveling, as they are never handy, but having almonds in stock has always worked for me. A fistful, nips the craving in the butt and keeps me full too.
4. Snack Squares - Another recent find have been these delicious Almond & Peanut and Dark Chocolate bite-size squares from goodnessknows. I wasn't sure I would like them as I am always vary of new food products, but I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorsome and crunchy they were. They have definitely found a permanent spot on my must-have snack list, travel or not!
5. Fruits - Now writing about fruits after all the above mentioned goodness sounds pretty drab, but I do pack a box of sliced apples, and a bunch of grapes for airplane/roadtrip. They are perishable so they won't last long but I am always glad to munch on them en-route to my destination.

Do you carry snacks while traveling?
Got any suggestions for me to try?
I tried a ThinkThin bar once and really hated it. But those snack squares look really yummy. I also like Zone Perfect bars for snacking.

Really?!? I love thinkThin bars. Help me curb my chocolate cravings :D I guess we all have different taste palettes.
DeleteI usually keep some Kind Bars and bananas with peanut butter when traveling. I hate the idea of eating fastfood at some airport.
ReplyDeleteI usually carry some nuts with me. Sandwiches in most airports are unhealthy (and tasteless and expensive).
ReplyDeleteDried fruit, nuts, and fresh fruit.
