Being on the road doesn’t mean you’re restricted to eating from fast food restaurants that are scattered all along our landscape; and the best way to assure you don’t fall victim to these diet-killers is to plan ahead so you don’t fall victim to hunger pangs unprepared.Here are some smart choices to keep at the ready so you can avoid the neon signs that seemingly scream your name:
- Cleaned and sliced raw vegetables — grape or cherry tomatoes are always fun to eat
- Apples, oranges, bananas, grapes
- Dried apricots, apples (or other fruit of your choice)
- Cheese that has been cubed in advance or the ever-handy string cheese
- Yogurt drinks
- Pretzel sticks or dry roasted almonds
- Low fat cookies or crackers
- Pre-made sandwiches that contain healthy and filling ingredients
- A bag of fortune cookies can always be fun
The bottom line is simple. Put a few minute’s thought into how the day will be spent before traveling so you don’t get caught unprepared and have to fall victim to food that is not only unhealthy, but will most likely drag energy levels down, as well.
