Duke’s, especially, is still pretty healthy for you and doesn’t use a lot of preservatives and ingredients you can’t pronounce. Tim actually prefers the beef “sausages” like Slim Jim and Duke’s. This has been a road trip snack since beef was a main part of our diet, I think. The best thing about them is their ability to withstand extreme temperatures, for the most part. There are a LOT of flavors of different snack bars, granola bars, etc… out there for everyone’s tastes, many featuring whole grains, and dark chocolate that can really fill up your stomach for hours, and are healthier than a bag of trail mix, frequently filled with sugary M&Ms.Īlthough they used to be hard to find, most grocery stores carry a great selection these days. I’ve found plenty though that are reasonable in that department, as well as being tasty and satisfying. To make the ingredients not taste like sand, manufacturers will often add a lot of sugar to them. With all energy bars, you want to be cautious of the sugar content. CLIF Bars make some of my favorites, especially the peanut butter flavored ones. Protein Bars, or energy bars, are great for satisfying that road trip hunger.

#BEST SNACKS FOR LONG ROAD TRIPS CRACK#
Tim likes to toss one in his mouth and crack it open like a sunflower seed to keep all the tasty juices in his mouth and not on his shirt. Tim’s family almost always grabs a large cup of them any time they stop at a gas station on a road trip. Most convenience stores in the South have boiled peanuts simmering away in crock pots. Must be something about the salt water followed up by a salty snack. Tim prefers Cajun - a little extra spice makes them just so delectable! They’re especially good after a day of fishing or a visit to the beach. Generally, you can get them plain or Cajun. Some of you may not have heard of, or tried, boiled peanuts. Boiled Peanuts: Crack ‘em like a Sunflower Seed I do try to avoid fast food whenever possible, as it ends up feeling heavy in my stomach and makes me sleepy. Sometimes, it’s whatever gets you through the trip. Though I’ll stress that health isn’t always the goal of travel snacks. I’ll pop a few slices in and let them melt in my mouth.
Not dried bananas or banana chips, which often have added sugar but market themselves as a healthy snack. I also like freeze-dried fruit, especially bananas. When you’re driving, having something “pop-able” like grapes is really nice, especially if you’re the one driving. My personal favorite is Sumo mandarin oranges, but those are seasonal. Available at many gas stations, it’s a go-to healthy snack that my family relies on.
