Indeed, sweet, salty, crunchy, and on-hand treats are the names of the game. This doesn’t have to mean dashing down a “supermarket sweep” style snack aisle. You can make many lighter and healthier versions of these favorites at home. Add plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to rehydrate and start your road trip with your right foot. There are several options to consider from the recipe finder.
Homemade cheese-that.. This miniature lacquer riff is thicker and cheaper than what you buy in the store. They can be stored for up to a week. So, assuming everything isn’t swallowed right away, it’s likely that you have plenty of room on both feet of your trip.
Nuts oats bar.. Therefore, getting in the car often starts early in the morning before having breakfast. Packed with oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruits for on-the-go dining, these bars are a great option before or after your car. Like the many recipes here, this is from our nutrition columnist, Erie Krieger.
Whole grain blueberry muffins with honey and cardamom.. Like the oat bar, Erie offers better baked goods made from whole wheat flour fortified with the soft effects of yogurt and honey.
Fruit and nut energy bar.. These slightly crunchy bars are free of flour, eggs, or added sugars and have an attractive crunch from a mixture of seeds and nuts.
Savory cereal snack mix.. Indeed, we all love the bagged Chex mix. Erie proposes a healthier strategy that incorporates olive oil, chickpea snacks, whole grain pita chips, and, of course, rice or wheat shes.
Speedy homemade hummus.. Four years later, one car later, at the pit stop on the way to the beach, I’m still recovering after feeding my one-year-old boy a hummus. However, if you don’t have to worry about your baby getting soaked throughout the dashboard, this favorite is ideal for packing in a container to pack a protein-filled treat. Pair with whole wheat crackers or crew dites.
Lunch box charcuterie.. Ask all travelers to choose their favorite combination of crackers, fruits, vegetables, cheese and sliced meat and pack it in a convenient bento-style box. Combos allow everyone to eat and eat as much as they want, when they want.
