Eating While Traveling

We are at the beginning of summer traveling season and many of us, myself included, may be planning summer vacations. Our plans rarely include food. But, when you are stuck on the tarmac or in a car or with young children (or grouchy adults), food can become the difference between fun and disaster.

Here are a few suggestions for snacks that won't completely ruin that great meal you are planning to consume once you arrive:

▪ Individual boxes of unsweetened cereal

▪ Fresh or dried fruit

▪ Baby carrots

▪ Rice cakes

▪ Graham crackers

▪ Low-fat granola bars

▪ Protein bars

▪ Juice boxes

▪ Pretzels

▪ Baked potato chips

▪ Small cans of water-packed tuna

▪ Individual applesauce or mixed fruit containers

▪ Fat-free pudding cups

▪ Nuts and/or seeds

▪ Fig bars

▪ Animal crackers

Happy and safe travels!
