On the road again, looks like you’re on the road–or in a plane or train–again! When it comes to travel, it’s so easy to be tempted by snacks available on the way, from fast food stops to plane food to train dining to hotel snack machines. Before you dive into that triple cheeseburger at the drive-through, mystery meat on the plane, Death by Chocolate cheesecake on the train or fake orange frosted cupcake in the snack machine, take a deep breath. Ahhhhh! Now make a resolution to treat yourself to a healthy snack to keep you going strong–with our help.
From easy-to-pack drinks to vegan cookies to nifty nuts to energy bars for dieters, we’ve got a series of super-fabulous snacks to fuel your journey (bon voyage!):
