If you’ve ever taken a long trip before, whether it was in a car, a bus, or an airplane, you know what it’s like to be a little hungry on the road. But believe it or not, there are tons of snacks that are both good for you and easy to transport as well. Read on for 5 travel food ideas that are healthy and portable for you next excursion!
6 Portable and Healthy Travel Food Ideas
Hard Boiled Eggs
Our first suggestion on our list of travel food ideas is a great source of protein and is super simple to prepare ahead of time. Check out this article for a tutorial on how to make hardboiled eggs, and to get some ideas on how you can spice them up and eat them for lunch as well!
Homemade Granola
The next suggestion for travel food ideas can certainly be bought in your local grocery store, but you should beware of added sugars, preservatives or artificial additives. We suggest making your own homemade granola, which you can personalize to your own tastes. If you’re looking for a recipe to follow, check out these instructions to make healthy granola at home.
Crispy Fruit
Crispy Fruit is one of our top travel food ideas because it’s the ultimate grab-and-go healthy snack for absolutely anyone. Its lightweight, single-serving size packaging make it easy for anyone to take with them on a long car ride, train ride, or bus ride. It’s even TSA friendly, so you can bring your favorite flavor on the plane, too!
Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups
If you’re looking for travel food ideas with a little extra protein to power you through your trip, try having a ham and cheese roll-up. Making them is easy – just roll up a slice of your favorite cheese with ham (or any other deli meat), and you’re finished! They even make a great snack complement to Crispy Fruit.
Roasted Chickpeas
When coming up with travel food ideas, we definitely couldn’t leave out roasted chickpeas… they’re healthy and so delicious! They have tons of protein as well as fiber, manganese and folate. Roasted chickpeas can be eaten by themselves or as a delicious addition to a salad, trail mix or soup. You can make them yourself (here’s an awesome recipe), or you can pick them up at your local grocery store.
Baked Kale
Our last suggestion on our list of travel food ideas is packed with tons of vitamins and minerals. Kale is chock full of antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium and potassium – but you don’t just have to eat it at dinner time to enjoy all of its “superfood” goodness! Try baking kale at home and take it with you when you’re on-the-go. It’s a great alternative to those greasy potato chips – and trust us, they’re still totally delicious!
