Everyone needs a road trip once in a while, to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and enjoy the freedom of the open road. Even if you are not going on a road trip, you may be forced to travel from time to time for work, to visit family or even take a holiday out of state or to another country.
If you are employed and work away from home, then travel is definitely a part of your daily routine and may involve both long and short commutes. Whatever the case, if you are spending a considerable amount of time moving from one place to another, then you need to ensure that you have some healthy snacks on hand to provide adequate nutrition and also help you avoid having to purchase high fat and high sugar snacks while you are on the road.
The best way to do this is by preparing your snacks beforehand and packing them in advance so they are readily available when you need an energy boost or sugar fix.
