How many times have you thought to yourself that THIS is going to be the road trip that you pack something other than Ham/Turkey sandwiches to help save cost on the road? How many times have you wondered around the kitchen determined to find something, but then not have a clue of where to start?
Now you're in luck. Chris and I are road trip food packers, for sure. Here is what I packed for our most recent trip:
1. Bowl of Salad
2. Small dish of Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing
3. Apple
4. Pineapple Chunks
(from a can this time, but we prefer fresh none at the house)
5. Celery Sticks
6. Small dish of Ranch Dressing
7. Popcorn
8. Chocolate Pudding
(made from a packet)
The trip is about 7 hours, but we (me especially) are full-time snackers in the car. Packing our lunchboxes helps keep us off the exit ramps to grab some fries, saving us time, saving us money, and keeping us filled with (mostly) healthier food.
There are several other items that we like to pack for long trips. They include items like:
Carrot Sticks (and other veggies)
Strawberries, Tangerines, Blue Berries, and other fresh fruits
Rice Krispie Treats
(homemade, not that packaged junk)
Trail Mix
Cookies
(again, homemade)
Bagels
Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches
English Muffins & Jelly
Bacon Slices
Cold Pizza
Egg Salad
Chicken Salad
Those are a few things you might find neatly tucked away in our travel snack cooler when we are on the road. =) Hope it helps.
