The Best Food to Take on a Road Trip

Travel Tips - Ross French - August 3, 2021

Road Trip

If you are planning a vacation and want to avoid the expense of eating out every single day, you might be looking at food and drink that you can easily take on your travels, especially if you have decided to go on a road trip. Then, here are some easy snack options for you and your family if you are trying to pack light and stave off food cravings on your trip.

Before heading you need to be aware of few things. Make sure your car is in good condition. Hopefully you won’t need to use your insurance, but get a best car insurance with any of The Van Insurer available. And keep a copy of it with you.

Coffee

Coffee is essential if you are planning to head out on a road trip, with the chaos of road trips demanding much more energy than you might normally have. Not only this, but coffee can help to keep you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed during early starts. Then, you should consider looking at easy-to-make cold brew coffee. Trade’s coffee does not need to be made with a machine and can be delivered straight to your doorstep just before you set off, ensuring that you can meet your caffeine cravings every day.

Fruit

Vacations are not known for being the healthiest times of the year, and it can be tempting to live on chocolate bars and cakes for the duration of your trip. Then, you should consider taking fruit with you. However, you should ensure that these fruits are not ripe before you set off, as fruit can quickly ripen and go off in hot temperatures. The best fruits to take with you include bananas, apples, and oranges. Although fresh fruit is best, dried fruits, such as dried apricots and raisins, can be great options if you do not have space in your luggage for fresh options.

Fruit Bread

If you are looking for food that can double as both a snack and a meal, fruit bread or a more extravagant brioche version might be the best option for you. As well as having longer best before dates than many other types of bread, fruit bread can be eaten plain as a snack or smothered in butter and copious amounts of filling for lunch or dinner.

Nuts

Another healthy snack that can be great for those long days on the road is nuts, such as peanuts, cashews, pistachio nuts, or almonds. Some brands like Emerald have an assortment of mixed nuts in each serving. Nuts can help give you the energy you need to power through the day while stopping your hunger pangs before you can next stop for a meal. They also usually come in handy resealable packets, which are perfect for road trips, especially if you do not want to consume the entire packet at once.

Bagels

Sandwiches can be extremely messy options to take on a road trip, especially if you love fillings like tuna and tomato. Then, you should consider alternatives to your lunchtime staple, such as bagels. Bagels are excellent options as they do not require a filling, especially if you choose blueberry, cinnamon, or sesame bagels. If you do wish to have a filling in your bagel, there are plenty of options for every time of the day or night, including cream cheese, salmon, peanut butter, and avocado.
