The Healthiest Snacks To Keep In Your Car

 

Having the right snacks in the car when you're on long road trips or even just short car rides is wise so you can keep your hunger down and energy up. Here are some 7 suggestions for foods to eat that will keep you alert and focused on the road:

 

1. Popcorn

 

Microwave popcorn is coated with chemicals but the naked kernels are incredibly healthy. They're an excellent source of antioxidants, complex carbohydrates, and digestive-supporting fiber.

 

2. Beef Jerky

 

Protein is one of the most satisfying nutrients. There are healthier versions of beef jerky with less sodium and preservatives available at organic grocery or natural-food stores.

 

3. Greek yogurt with nuts or fruit

 

Greek Yogurt is a protein powerhouse that will keep your hunger at bay for hours. The nuts and fruit offer energy, fiber, and healthy nutrients.

 

4. Hard-boiled eggs and whole-wheat crackers

 

Hard-boiled eggs are full of hunger-repelling protein and they’re easy to eat while driving.


 

5. Mozzarella string cheese and apple slices

 

This combo provides the 3 must-haves to keep you focused and healthy:

6. Hummus and bell pepper strips

 

In addition to protein, protein, hummus is a good source of Vitamin B like folate (which helps prevent prostate cancer.)
