This weekend I went to a bachelorette party in Deleware. We stayed in Lewes Beach, but also stopped (drank) in Dewey and Rehoboth. It was a blast!
I knew I’d be eating out a lot once I got there, so I made sure to at least pack my own snacks for the 6-hour drive. Below are my favorite options:
Sweet Snacks:
- Quest Bars – These are a given since I can’t get enough of them. Rocky Road and Blueberry Muffin are my current favorites.
- Fresh Fruit – Whatever’s in season will work, but I usually pick bananas since they taste best at room temperature and aren’t as messy as other fruits.
- Dates – Also known as “Nature’s Candy”, these are a great alternative to processed sugar when you’re looking for a sweet treat.
Savory Snacks:
- Plantain Chips – A healthier take on potato chips, these are a great option if you’re craving salty, crunchy snacks.
- Nuts – Cashews, shelled pistachios, and almonds are my go-to’s.
- Roasted Chickpeas – I make my own depending on the kind of spice I want. Garlic and cajun are great, but sometimes just a little salt does the trick.
Fresh Snacks:
- Veggie Sticks – Baby carrots, celery, and speared cucumbers are convenient veggies to eat while driving.
Buying food on the road can be expensive, time-consuming, and less-than-healthy. Being prepared with your own healthy road trip snacks can make all the difference.
