Healthy Road Trip Snacks

Healthy Road Trip Snacks to keep you energized on the go! Shutterbean shares easy, delicious, and packable snack ideas for your next adventure.

Healthy Road Trip Snacks?  Do they exist?  THEY DO!! 

We’ve had to be on the road a lot for baseball, and I’ve become an experienced snack packer for our road trips. My guys are always down to stop at fast food restaurants and gas stations for sustenance. Me? Not so much. That’s where meal prep comes in!

Before you pack for a road trip, here are some questions to ask! 

Lettering by Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean

  • How long will you be on the road?
  • Will you have a cooler with you so you can store things?
  • What’s the easiest thing to eat while on the road that won’t make a mess?
  • Can you have the snacks accessible to you so you don’t have to stop?

Here are some sample snack situations.
