Snacks And Foods To Take On Your Next Road Trip
Road trips are so much fun, aren’t they? All the same, they’re a lot of work to plan out and execute. From deciding where to go, how to get there, and what to do in each spot, those are just a few things that go into planning a successful road trip. One main part of it is the food, of course. You can’t have a good road trip without the best possible snacks. Whatever food you might like, there are obviously a lot of different ways to go about preparing for a trip. Let’s talk about how you can set yourself up for a successful road trip – without stopping for snacks every hour or so (although that’s cool, too). Get a large Tupperware or several smaller ones and get to work. You don’t want to have to think about food while you’re away unless you want to treat yourself. To achieve this goal, preparation ahead of time is key. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck wondering what you’ll eat next, where you’ll get it, and how much it’ll cost you. Preparing everything in advance will save you the headache (and the excess cash) while allowing you to get to your destination faster, too! So next time you’re going out on the road, take a look at this list for some inspiration.
Breakfast
It goes without saying that if you’re someone who typically doesn’t eat breakfast, you should skip this one. But if you’re someone who does normally eat breakfast, try to make things easier for yourself when you’re on the road. It’s most likely you’ll be heading out early in the morning, so you won’t want to spend a lot of time and effort getting breakfast ready. There are plenty of options for breakfast on the go. You can make:
- Overnight oats
- Muffins
- A bagel sandwich
- Breakfast wraps
- A protein smoothie
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Banana bread
- Mini cereal boxes
Lunch And Dinner
Now that we have breakfast covered, let’s talk about lunch and dinner options. Once the afternoon rolls around, you’ll probably start getting much hungrier. Instead of stopping for fast food, make sure you’re prepared and have lunch planned out. Here are some ideas for a good lunch or dinner:
- Deli meat sandwiches with chips and veggies
- Salad with chicken or tofu
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
- A burrito
- Pizza
- A tuna sandwich
- Crackers with meat and cheese
- Ham and cheese roll-ups
Snacks
We’ve arrived at the most important part of any road trip: snacks! Who doesn’t love lounging in the passenger seat and eating something tasty while singing along to great music? It’s what everyone adores, after all. So, to give you some ideas, here are some snack options to take along on your next road trip:
- Trail mix
- Popcorn, pretzels, and chips
- Dried fruit
- Fresh fruit (tip: separate the bananas from other foods – sometimes, they can make all your food smell and taste like banana)
- Veggies with hummus
- Raisins
- Granola/protein bars
- String cheese
- Cereal
- GoldFish
- Chips and salsa or guacamoli
- Candy/chocolate bars
