Hi, girl! I
hope you are doing well! Can you believe it's so close to Christmas?! :)
I know you may be traveling some this month for holiday getaways and time with your loved ones! So, I wanted to share with you some healthy snacks that you can eat on-the-go to stay feeling energized and nourish your body well even while on a trip!
Sometimes travel and full itineraries can get pretty busy and leave you very tempted to settle for processed foods or drive-thru windows. Healthy snacks are really important for those in-between meal moments because they:
Sustain your energy from meal to meal
Stabilize your blood sugar
Keep your mood steady and focus sharp
6 Healthy Snacks to Pack with You:
Nuts + Seeds—an excellent source of protein:
Look for raw or dry roasted and stay away from nuts with additives like vegetable oil or canola oil. Buying nuts or seeds in bulk and making little ¼ cup servings to take with you can save you some money in comparison to buying pre-portioned packaged bags.
Fruit—packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants:
Look for organic fruit like bananas packed with potassium and oranges loaded with Vitamin C. We have enjoyed getting boxes of organic fruit and veggies discounted up to 40% delivered to our door from Misfits Market! Check them out here!
Yogurt—high in protein and good source of healthy fats:
Look for full-fat, organic yogurt or dairy-free yogurt. Choose the ones that do not contain artificial flavors or sweeteners like corn syrup. The lower the sugar, the better! I'm a fan of plant-based coconut and cashew yogurts as dairy can be inflammatory for a lot of people.
Hard-boiled eggs—high source of protein and will keep your blood sugar level:
Boil them the night before and throw a couple in a little to-go container! I like topping them with just salt and pepper! You could try out everything bagel seasoning too!
Trail Mix—packed with a combo of proteins and natural sugars to increase your energy:
Look for a mix that doesn’t contain added vegetable oil or buy a variety of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits with no sugar or additives to make your own trail mix. I love a few dark chocolate chips in the mix sometimes too! I'm currently loving these cranberries that I had to share!
Raw veggies—slices of raw veggies are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber:
Choose organic veggies when possible. Carrots, cucumbers, and peppers are great options! Bonus tip: bring guac or hummus for dipping! I encourage you to pick 2 of these snack suggestions to get from the grocery store this week and have them ready to take with you! Go old-school if you need to with a lunch box and a cold pack! Taking this extra step for your health will be worth it and you'll be so glad you did with feeling much better! Remember, the little things are the big things! :)
