Several Options for You Travelers to stay Healthy

1. Roasted Chickpeas
These are lower calories and less fat than salted nuts, however the chickpeas will kick that salt craving and leave you feeling full. As for seasonings, you decide, so you don’t need prepackaged foods, that have been through who know what. You get to choose what flavor and what spices you want. I dry them and then cover them with some olive oil or coconut oil (heated). Then I sprinkle my seasonings and mix well, through in the oven for about 25 minutes.

2. Granola that is Really Healthy
Combine Oats, Nuts, and Dried Fruits (that is not loaded with added sugar). The trick is though to use with egg whites beaten till frothy. Basically you just mix and lay on parchment paper laid on a baking sheet then bake. Very Easy!

3. Sweet Banana Chips
Bananas are naturally sweet and loaded with potassium. One way to change things up and make it a little easier for the car ride is to slice them up and cover them lightly with brown sugar or honey. You don’t need to use a lot and definitely no clumps of just sugar, lol. Use a cookie sheet that has been lightly coated with olive oil, sprinkle pepper and sea salt to taste, than back for about 16 minutes.

4. Homemade Fruit Rollups
What a better way to connect with the inner kid (and to sneak in with the kids) then fruit rollups. Take 3 cups of fruit, your choice, but nothing that is just water like grapes. Add a few dates to sweeten it more and then ¼ cup of water. Yep that is it. Next you blend all ingredients until smooth and spread on parchment paper you had laid in a cake pan. You will want to bake on as low as possible for between 4-8 hours (the trick it the ends will look tough or leathery).

5. Shakeology
The easiest and healthiest treat of them all, Shakeology. All you need is one scoop or packet of Shakeology, one shaker cup, and a bottle of water. Mix all ingredients and drink. If you have time to make before you leave the house then you can add all kinds of treats, peanut butter, banana, use milk (almond milk is my favorite). Healthiest meal of the day guaranteed and you can do it fast, easy and on the go.
