Snacking on the go is a vacation must for you, but you’re sick of all the unhealthy, expensive store-bought options? Here are a few quick alternatives you can easily make at home.
Easy-to-Mobilize Veggies
Say goodbye to gas station potato chips and hello to fresh veggies! Some vegetables are extra suitable to function as on-the-go snacks – baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and edamame (steamed soybeans) are but a few great options. Toss them in a reusable container and enjoy a refreshing, nutritious, and guilt-free munch.
DIY Trail Mix
Why buy your trail mix when you can make a fancy one at home? Tailor a unique blend using various nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. There are plenty of options to choose from, which means you can truly personalize this travel snack to speak the language of your stomach. From walnuts and almonds to sunflower seeds and dried plums—feel free to go nuts (no pun intended).
Yogurt Travel Treat
Yogurt is one of these rare foods that are healthy, tasty, low-calorie, and create a long-lasting sense of fullness. Make your travel yogurt extra enjoyable with an addition of granola, sliced fruits, and a few drops of honey. Place your yogurt creation in a well-sealed hard, and you’ve got a truly delicious treat that is bound to keep your energy levels up for a while, so you can easily conquer local attractions.
It’s a Wrap
It’s time to wrap things up, travelers. This DIY travel snack might actually pass as a full-on meal, and it’s so simple to make. All you need is a pack of store-bought tortillas (preferably whole grain), and your filling of choice. Opt for vegetables if you’re aiming for a quick, light snack; or put in the time to make protein-rich grilled chicken. Roll it all up, slice the wraps into bite-sized pieces, and voilà – a travel snack star is born.
