What are some recipe for a snack to take on the road?

Question

Please no carrot sticks or crackers, I want something to make before I leave that isn't messy or chocolate or anything that may melt on a long road trip.

Answer 1

Dry fruits, wafers , cadburys , fresh juice, pastries , cheese veg. sandwiches...

Answer 2

Honestly, just start mixing dry foods.

Make your own version of trail mix.

Peanuts, dried fruits - I like cranberries the best-, M&M are chocolate but they were made as treats for soldiers to travel long distances without making a mess, Sunflower seeds...

Just go around the store and see what else looks good.

Answer 3

Grapes, cherries, and apple slices or maybe a banana make for guilt-free goodies. Keep a pocket knife in the glove box for trimming fruit. (You'll be surprised how handy that pocket knife is on an extended trip.) Except for the banana, keep the fruit chilled in cooler.

Cherry tomatoes make another great snack -- wholesome and refreshing. They don't need to be kept in the cooler.

Consider individual fruit servings from your grocer's shelves: applesauce, canned fruit, or mixed fruit.

For adults, put together a fruit salad and keep it chilled in the cooler.

Carrots and celery sticks make great snacks. Prepare them before leaving home.

The kids will be happier with a dip for their veggies or fruit. For the apple slices, mix a little honey and cinnamon into low fat cream cheese. A low fat ranch or thousand island dressing will work for the celery and carrot sticks.

As kids, we snacked on celery with that neat little trough in the center filled with peanut butter or cream cheese. We still like those snack sticks as adults. For the kids, stick raisins in the peanut butter to make Ants on a Log.

GRANOLA

Granola is a favorite travel snack. We much prefer the homemade variety; it's better and you can make it just as you like. We indulge ourselves with lots of dried fruit and nuts in our granola. Sure it has some calories but with all that fiber, it makes a great, lower glycemic snack.

Make your own granola with this easy recipe.

NUTS & DRIED FRUIT

Pairing nuts and dried fruit is like eating candy that is good for you. Try pecans and pears or our favorite, cranberries paired with whole almonds.

TRAIL MIX

Your kids won't go for fruit and nuts alone? Try trail mix with additional chocolate pieces. Yes, it's calorie rich but the fiber tempers those calories to make it a better snack. Pick up or make your own granola and add chocolate candies for your own trail mix.
