Healthy Roadtrip Snacks

Whether taking a short drive or heading off on a cross-country adventure, many families are packing up the car for some time away. 

One of the best parts about road trips? Snacks! They aren’t always the healthiest. Luckily, you can prepare many easy, healthier snacks for your trip. Skip the chips at the gas station and try these instead:

  • Apples and peanut butter
  • Celery and peanut butter
  • Carrots and hummus
  • Homemade trail mix with nuts and dried fruit
  • Protein and granola bars
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Dried fruit and veggie chips
