Plant-Based Road Trip Snacks and Quick Meals
No matter where you’re headed, there are a few things you must have before you hit the road; a full tank of gas, a great playlist, and plenty of quick and easy snacks so your plant-based lifestyle doesn’t go out the window. Your body may be running low on energy since you’ve been sitting in the same seat for hours, and maybe even days. When this happens you can find yourself taking a wrong turn when it comes to food choices and you’ll be traveling down a dark rabbit hole before you know it. You can avoid this by planning ahead.
I’m here to help you with healthy snacks and meal ideas while on the road that will keep you full, nourished, and able to enjoy the beautiful road that lies ahead.
Top Picks for A Healthy Road Trip
Savory Picks
Crackers
Whole Grain Quinoa Crackers are easy to make and so much healthier than those convenience store temptations. Pair these crackers with savory Walnut Spread.
Hummus
I prefer to call it Rustic Hummus because I prefer hummus a bit on the chunky side. It pairs well as a snack with pita wedges and fresh vegetables. It also makes a satisfying road trip meal when stuffed in a pita pocket and loaded with fresh veggies.
More Hummus!
My favorite is Black Bean Hummus because I can use it as a dip with tortilla chips or spread it in a wrap and add lettuce and slice tomatoes for a more substantial snack.
Crunchy Wraps
Veggie Wraps make an easy and delicious quick grab and go meal or nutritious snack any time of the day!
Fresh Picks
Salad In a Jar
Layer your favorite dressing at the bottom, nest layer beans, grains, greens, veggies and seeds. Shake it up before serving!
Fresh Fruit
The possibilities are endless; apples, oranges, grapes, berries, kiwi, pineapple…
Fresh Vegetables
Carrot coins, celery sticks, cucumber slices, jicama straws, grape tomatoes, cauliflower and broccoli florets, sweet peppers…pack the rainbow!
Sweet Picks
Sweet Wraps
This Banana Walnut Wrap is free of guilt and shame because it just so dang nutritious! It makes a great breakfast or lunch and it’s even a snack the kids will love making.
For Chocolate Lovers
As tempting as it may be to grab a Snicker bar when you stop to fill up for gas, you will most definitely regret that decision. Instead grab a piece of Chocolate Bark. A sweet treat with crunch, along with healthy seeds to give you a boost of energy.
Chewy Goodness
These Cocoa Bliss Balls are super easy to make and require only a handful of ingredients.
Don’t forget to pack reusable tableware and utensils, as well as anti-bacterial wipes!
