Easy snack ideas for long trips

Not everyone can eat a well balanced meal while on the road for a long time, so here are some quick "fixes" for in between those meals when you are most likely to eat sugary foods.

Here are some great ideas curtosey of OTRTDriverhealth.com:

• Fresh fruit – whole or sliced and packed individually in reusable containers 
• Raw vegetables – including carrots, peppers, zuchinni and baby tomatoes, cherry or grape whichever you prefer. 
• Trail mix of nuts, sunflower seeds and/or pumpkin seeds
• Instead of munching on chips, eat natural popcorn 
• As an alternative for buns and breads opt for pita triangles made from whole wheat. Adding some hummus makes them lovely and moist. 
• Never mind PB&J, put the peanut butter on a pumpernickel bagal and top it with sliced banana. 
• Make a smoothie from any type of fruit. You can use fresh if it's in season or if not then used canned or frozen fruit. Add low fat milk, low fat yogurt, soy milk, protein powder or fruit juice 

Just by making a few tweaks in your snacking, you can still enjoy what you love without the guilt!
