    30 Healthy Road Trip Snacks

    Simple Gifts

    Going on a road trip and don't want to feel disgusting from junk food? Pack these healthy road trip snacks to fuel you the entire way.

    this awesome idea!

    We love taking family road trips and some of our favorite family vacation memories have come from singing in the van together and playing road trip games. (After all, we also deserve to spend some quality time with our loved ones.)

    Road trips act as a source of adventure and happiness for the whole family because you never quite know what's going to happen. Imagine suddenly coming across a majestic view outside while driving your car and enjoying your favourite music (thanks to the car audio installation). Won't that be something that can really fill the soul with happiness and provide you with a sense of adventure? Of course, it will! That is why there are a ton of National Lampoon-style movies about road trips. But as fun and wacky as they may seem, the reality is not always as fun. As a parent, you always have to care for your as well as your kids' safety. This means, from replacing worn-out seat belts to installing new car seats (perhaps from Nuna) for your toddlers, you have to take all the necessary steps.

    After all, keeping the family safe against accidents, personal injury, and other kinds of harm is always the first priority. (Eventually, you are responsible for the well-being of your loved ones.) That is why keeping the contact number of an urgent care provider and a personal injury lawyer can prove to be the two of the most crucial things an individual needs to ensure before starting their journey. But even after all the precautions have been taken, you can't guarantee that nothing will go wrong. Something almost always eventually does.

    Sometimes you might be in a completely foreign area with no knowledge of anything around and you've got into an accident due to the other party's fault.

    What do you do then? Well, you could always call the attorney closest to you, someone area-specific (this Orange County injury lawyer, for example) to help you out. But those things can seriously derail your trip. You could still make the best of your trip with the right pick-me-ups like toys or games or the right snacks. I say the right snacks because so often you buy food for the journey and it just ends up making the kids sick.

    But there is nothing worse than feeling crummy and miserable on your drive from eating too much junk in the car. And heavens knows you don't want anyone getting carsick.

    Here's some of our favorite healthy road trip snacks we love. They are easy to pack and most don't even need a cooler to stay fresh.

    So whether you are taking a road trip through the Redwoods, Oregon Coast, or anywhere else in the country, here's healthy snack ideas to pack along.
