12 Healthy Packaged Snacks for Traveling

travel snacks

School is out, the weather is warm, and it’s time for a vacation!

Whether you’re traveling this summer by plane, train or automobile, you’ll need some healthy packaged snacks to fuel you on the trip.

Below are some of my favorite healthy snacks for traveling, all of which will please kids and adults alike.

Happy trails!

Late July Snack Chips

healthy packaged snacks

My favorites are Mild Green Mojo and Dude Ranch – both perfect paired with cheese.

Organic Valley Stringles

healthy packaged snacks

A tasty change from regular string cheese, and thanks to pasture-raised cows these have optimal nutritional value!

Grape Tomatoes

road trip snacks

It can be hard to get veggies on the road, but ripe little tomatoes (in a hard container to protect them) are perfect for travel.

Cruncha Ma-me

road trip snacks

Simply freeze-dried edamame in the yummiest flavors.

Trail Mix

road trip snacks

With so many amazing options available now, it’s easy to find a mix with your family’s favorite flavors.

Organic Valley Milk Protein Shakes

road trip snacks

I don’t drink this type of thing at home, but on the road these are a super delicious source of protein & calcium.

Cherries

road trip snacks

Not all fruit travels well, but cherries are perfect for on-the-go munching.

Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups

road trip snacks

OK, these aren’t healthy. But when you need a sweet indulgence, you can rest assured since these are organic and free of junky ingredients.

Popcorn

road trip snacks

Pop it yourself before leaving home for the healthiest option; or look for packaged popcorn with a short ingredient list.

Stonyfield Yogurt Pouches

healthy packaged snacks

Freeze them before you leave so they last (4 hours) throughout the trip.

Annie’s Cheddar Bunnies

road trip snacks

Lucy has loved these since she could chew – and to be honest, I love them too. Great alternative to conventional Goldfish.

Nuts

road trip snacks

Can’t go wrong with nuts. Pack your favorite kind or make these honey coconut roasted almonds before you go.

    We already enjoy several of these snacks – but the Late July chips are new to me. Will have to check our market next time I go. Aren’t those Justin’s peanut butter cups amazing??

    Justin’s PB Cups are the BEST. I’ve been seeing the Late July chips around in more places – hope you can find them!
