With summer travel ahead, we've got a crash course on snacking tips to help fuel your travel days with ease. So how can you make smart eating choices while traveling? First, keep it simple and stay prepared and always make sure to stay hydrated. If traveling by car, pack the trunk with water jugs to refill water bottles. Studies show that thirst may be confused for hunger, meaning we may eat when the body does not actually need fuel. If your mode of travel is plane, then a great refillable water bottle will do the trick. When it comes to packing snacks, go for foods that energize, provide satisfaction and taste great yet are extremely convenient. Quest Dipped Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar has 18g protein, 3g net carb, and only 1g sugar so it's perfect if you're looking for a sweet treat without the carbs and sugar. Next up, to satisfy the entire family. Nut butter packs are perfect when you crave a satisfying dose of healthy fat. Pair with whatever fruit or veggie your family loves. Single-serve convenience and nutrient dense snacks to keep you full until your next meal. If you have options of packing a cooler to take with you, you can take along things such as hummus or guacamole which can be perfectly paired with whole-grain crackers or fresh veggies. These options will provide healthy fat (in the dippers) and fiber (in the crackers)--the latter being an essential component to help maintain regular bathroom habits while traveling. Popcorn is a great option that is full of antioxidants and fiber. Lastly how can we avoid feeling sluggish while traveling? Quest Iced Coffees are perfect for a mid-day pick-me-up because it provides caffeine and protein but will not lead to a sugar crash. They have 10g of protein, 1g of sugar, 90 calories and 200mg caffeine. It's packed with protein to help keep you full and contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass and caffeine in a nonperishable, easy-to-bring with you bottle.
