Do you like road trips? Do you like snacks? Great!
Here are some of my favorite, and also the best healthy road trip snacks. It's hard to take fresh food on road trips, but below I've got some of my best recommendations for what travels well in the car.
Tips for the Healthy Road Trip Snacks
You can scale these up and down as necessary. For short road trips, I find that two boxes are enough.
These snacks need to be stored in a cooler. They don't have to be freezing cold, but they're better if they're a little chilled.
I use these glass meal prep containers for these snacks.
