We’ll be hopping into the van a lot this Christmas season going back and forth to visit friends and family.

Some of our trips will be Looooong! To save time, money, and eat healthful foods (drive-throughs often lead us to poor snack choices!!), here’s my list of must-have snacks for the road!
- Trail Mix / Nuts
- Granola bars
- Cheese Sticks and crackers (it’s like a little traveling appetizer)
- Hard-boiled eggs (a little protein in the round!)
- Egg McMommies (you know, a healthier version of the one you can get through the drive-thru?)
- Veggie sticks (carrots and celery)
- Fruit Puree pouches (like from Earth’s Best! Good for all ages and keeps the mess down)
- Pretzels (you need a crunchy snack!)
- Twizzlers (for a little something sweet)
- Sunflower Seeds (note: I don’t really recommend these as they can be messy, but they ARE on our list because hubby loves them!)
- Clementine oranges (easy to peel and soooo deliciously juicy – bring paper towels!)
- Bottled water (we usually fill up our own bottles)
Having a cooler full of delicious snacks makes watching what passes by the window much more fun! And keeps us trucking down the road!

Those are great snack ideas, Julie. I like the egg mcmommies idea. lol I love to take ideas from fast food meals and adapt them to make them healthier.

Great tips! I never think about clementines on the road. My little 2 adore them. They travel well, too. Thanks for the tips!

I’m pretty boring. Nut mix, bars, fruit snacks.
