Road Trip Snacks to Make Car Trips Enjoyable

June 30, 2014 by FaveGlutenFreeRecipes

Snack RecipesI hope you’re ready because I’m really excited about these recipes. These road trip snacks have saved me on multiple occasions. You can avoid greasy fast food and unhealthy junk food with these great healthy snack ideas. These snacks won’t make a mess in your car, and you won’t have to deal with cleaning dirty dishes. You’ll absolutely love these road trip snacks, and they may even make that long car trip a bit more enjoyable.

Alright, story time. I have a love/hate relationship with car trips. I love them because it means that I can get out of town and take a vacation. However, I hate them because I don’t enjoy being cooped up in a car that’s packed solid. When I was a kid, my family hardly ever flew. My parents always opted to take a twenty hour car ride instead of a quick plane trip. Because we’d be traveling across the country, my parents believed that any open space in the car is an opportunity to pack more. They’d pack the five of us, our two dogs, seven suitcases, four coolers, three boxes of Lego’s, two bins of shoes, one full bedroom set, and a partridge in a pear tree.  Then they’d try to fit it all in our small Volkswagen Jetta. The only thing that saved these trips were my mom’s fantastic road trip snacks that she always packed. Here are a few of my favorite treats, including nut mixes, granola recipes, and healthy chocolate treats, that are just like what my mom would pack.

“Chips” may not be the most appropriate title because these road trip snacks are nothing like the classic chips you’d find at the grocery store.  You’ll love that these options are much healthier!
