Here are some of my top picks.

• Make up a trail mix with some healthy nuts and dried fruits. Almonds, walnuts, peanuts, roasted pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and raisins are all good choices to throw in your travel trail mix. Add a few M&M’s if you have a sweet tooth.
• Homemade granola makes a great take along snack for a long car ride, or make some granola bugs for a fun treat.
• Pack some fresh fruits like bananas, apples, grapes, or oranges.
• Celery and peanut butter make a fun snack, add some raisins to the top and call it “ants on a log.” Store your celery and peanut butter in small ziplock bags until you’re ready to eat it.
• Cheese sticks and whole grain crackers make an easy travel snack.
• Whole grain cereals packed in small bags or containers.

Make sure you bring foods that don’t aren’t easily perishable, and don’t need to be refrigerated, unless you’re bringing a cooler with ice. Don’t forget to bring plenty of water, or fruit juices to keep children hydrated during hot car rides.

Do you have a favorite healthy snack you like to take on long car rides?
