Hitting the road? Summer is in full swing, and the itch to escape for the weekend is undeniable. But sometimes the road to summer sun is long and jammed with traffic. What's a hungry traveler to do?Pack these six snacks in a cooler or carry-on to stay satisfied no matter where you roam.
Almonds: This superfood is the perfect travel companion. At only 162 calories for 23 tasty nuts, almonds offer fiber and vitamin E, along with healthy fats. Added bonus? The nuts also contain alpha-linolenic acid to rev your body's fat-burning ability.
Yogurt: The #1 supersnack will satisfy your sweet tooth and with a mix of protein and carbs, you'll keep your blood sugar level, stay full, and help your body store less fat. Top plain yogurt with berries for dose of antioxidants or carob chips for a chocolaty touch.
Cheese and crackers: Packing snacks can help you to practice portion control. Pack a resealable bag with 3 Kavli Crispy Thins and 1 Laughing Cow Light Swiss Original Wedge. This slimming snack is super low in calories (85 total) and super delicious.
100 Calorie Balance Bar These pint-sized picks are easy to stash, and offer 5 grams of fiber and 6g protein in a single serving. Did I mention they are delicious, too?
1 Orville Redenbacher's Smart Pop Butter Mini Bags Pop and go. One of these bags delivers 4g of filling fiber, and 4 g of protein to keep you full. Sprinkle chili powder on top for added kick.
Apples and Nut Butter An oldie but goodie. Squeeze a single serve pack of peanut or almond butter (I like these from Smuckers, Barney Butter and Justin's Nut Butter) on a crisp apple. You'll do your body good with this healthy fat and high fiber combo.
