rosie and I are going on a little road trip this Saturday. I decided to make a list of the snacks I would be taking with me. I normally eat really healthy. I will eat healthy on trips but I do like to eat some junky food too. Chips are my weakness. This trip I am going to be really good.
water
I will bring a gallon of water from home. I buy a gallon of water and keep the jugs and refill them. In Oregon we have great tasting water. I used to drink a whole gallon in a day. Not so much anymore but I still try.
almonds
I try to keep almonds with me at all times. Roasted are my favorite, but I buy them raw from Costco and I would like to try to roast some myself. I dont mind the extra work if I can save some monies!
carrots
I do not like baby carrots. They do not taste delicious to me. I like carrots if they are peeled. I am going to peel and cut up some so they are ready to go. I would love to keep cut carrots in the fridge at all times. I am sure I would eat them more.
cucumbers
I can eat a whole engilsh cucumber in a sitting. I try not to cause they arent always cheap. I will happily eat half. Rosie and would share them a lot when we worked at the farm together.
dark chocolate covered raisins
These are my treat. I love dark chocolate! No milk. I like raisins too. I didnt as a kid but now I really like them. I feel like they are a cheat but they are natures candy right? Cover them in chocolate and they are even better!
I plan on making some lettuce wrapped turkey "unwiches" for lunch unless we pick up some tacos. I would be ok with that too!
What foods do you take on a road trip?
I'm so excited and want to be good too! Mostly I want to be self sufficient! We should make a playlist for the trip tomorrow :) eeeeee!!!
ReplyDeleteTrader Joes has so many trail mixes--whenever we go on a road trip we always stock up on that! They also have some dried fruit I love packing on hikes for a little boost! Good post :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on unsalted almonds, whether they be raw or self-roasted!
ReplyDeleteMy mom would always pack cheese and crackers when we went on road trips… I think for nostalgia reasons I do the same. I have to agree with all the above comments- you definitely need a good playlist, Trader Joe's has amazing snacks (sea salt chocolate covered almonds!) and good ol' raw almonds are one of my go-to snacks too.
ReplyDeleteMy husband recently started smoking almonds and they are delicious. If you don't have a smoker, you can do it in a charcoal barbecue as well.I also second Aubrie on those sea salt chocolate almonds. I am obsessed with them.
