It's that time of year again...time to hit the road. That time of year when families travel to great destinations to spend some quality time together. The beach, the forest, the mountains, campfires, Disney, "Are we there yet", "I have to go potty", "You're stuff is on MY side", "QUIT looking at me" and the never ending "Mom, I'm hungry" (insert whine).
Most gas stations carry things like pork rinds, chips, cookies, and candy. That's fun, at first, but after awhile my stomach starts to rumble with queasiness and I can feel the pimples growing on my face.
Here is a list of some of my favorite foods for the car:
Proteins:
beef/turkey jerky
cheese cubes
pumpkin seeds
almonds
nut butter on crackers
hummus
protein bars
turkey and cheese roll ups
hard boiled eggs (but they make the car smell...gross)
trail mix
Fruits/Veggies:
grapes
apple slices with peanut butter
berries
bananas
cherry tomatoes
baby carrots
sliced cucumbers
sliced bell peppers
sugar snap peas
sliced zucchini
orange slices
Grains:
mini-bagles
whole grain crackers
banana or zucchini bread
any of those rolled, no bake energy balls
Most importantly, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water!
Have fun on you vacations and stay safe. I'll be back in a few days with workouts you can do on the road using just your body weight.
