Navigating Nutritious Snacking on the Road... Summer is a great time to jump in the car and head out for a day trip or a weekend excursion. And what is one of the first things you think of when planning a long car ride? SNACKS! It's hard to eat healthy on the road because your choices are often limited to gas stations, mini-marts, fast food and truck stops! While you might find some healthy choices along the way, you need a little nutrition know-how to navigate the good from the bad. Also, if you wait to pull over until you are too hungry; it’s often hard to make the best choices. So packing the right foods to take with you in the car, can make or break your calorie bank.
Here are a few rules for a successful road trip: 1. Stock up on healthy foods to bring in the car. Try to encourage everyone to pack healthy snacks since it can be tempting to reach for the chips instead of the carrot sticks, especially if you hit some traffic!
