When you’re out and about on a summer adventure, having nutritious and portable snacks is key. Here are my top 5 healthy snack ideas that are satisfying, energizing and easy to carry:
Ants On A Log 2.0: This old-school favorite checks all the boxes: protein-rich, healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants and hydrating. Celery + Nut Butter + Hemp Hearts + Raisins. Make ahead and store in fridge in a grab’n go travel container.
Happy Trails Mix: My best anti-hangry tool. Make your own with nuts + seeds + dried fruit or purchase premade in individual serving-sized packages. My fav: Trader Joe’s Omega Trek Mix
Protein-rich Energy Bars: A must-have! Opt for bars with minimal ingredients that are made with whole foods and low in sugar. My favs: RXBAR & Aloha Bars
Jerky: The original long-lasting travel snack is made for adventure. My favs: Think Jerky & Trader Joe’s Chomp Sticks
Hydrating Fruits & Veggies: Quench your thirst and hunger with ultra-portable fruits and veggies: mini cucs, grape tomatoes, baby carrots, celery sticks, apples, pears, bananas, clementines and grapes. Keep them accessible in a ziplock bag and you can enjoy them throughout your adventure.
