If you’re planning a road trip, there are a number of things you’ll need to sort out before you go: your rental vehicle and car hire excess insurance, clothes and toiletries for the trip and, of course, a bunch of snacks to enjoy while you travel.
While it can be extremely tempting to bring along packets of biscuits, crisps and other junk foods, you’re sure to feel fresher and in much better spirits if you eat healthier foods while you’re travelling. Here are a few ideas in case you’re in need of healthy snacking inspiration!
Fruit and Veg
You can’t go wrong with a bit of fruit and veg, so make sure you pack plenty of variety for your trip.
Proteins
Still feeling hungry after your fruit and veg feast? Then it must be time to get some protein in your system.
Organisation
Sort out your rental, accommodation and car hire excess insurance well in advance and you’ll have plenty of time to organise your healthy snacks for the trip. Plan your meals and factor in some time for stop offs in case you need to top up any of your snack packs – nobody wants to go hungry on the road!
It’s also worth packing your food items into smaller, stackable tubs rather than keeping everything in its original packaging. You’ll save plenty of space in your car and you can recycle any plastics before you leave rather than putting them into regular rubbish bins throughout your journey.
So now you know how you’ll be snacking on your next road trip. Make sure you’re organised in advance with your car hire excess insurance, accommodation and a detailed map of stop offs and you’ll be sure to have the adventure of a lifetime.
