It is officially road-trip season, and you are probably hitting the pavement soon to experience the ultimate vacation or camp-out with friends and family. Before you leave... don't forget the snacks for crying out loud. By hitting the road with no food or drink...it could get ugly and may lead you to foam at the mouth when you see this sign.
or your blood sugar get's low... and it leads to this...
I just read on my favorite health blog
www.fitsugar.com and took note of some really great 150 calorie snack ideas for you and your family. Check them out...

Also with those super cool containers I mentioned yesterday this would take the guesswork out of portioning out your food...you could load up and eat healthy while on the road.
I absolutely love the little peanut butter packets you can purchase.. then just cut up either some apples, celery, or what not.. and this makes a great snack. Also I enjoy Cliff bars as well, or grapes and more...
Load up on pre-cut vegetables and fruit. Bring along a small cooler with ice packs to keep your snacks fresh.
Bring plenty of fluids (water preferably). It will keep you hydrated and, if you spill it, won't stain the upholstery like sodas.

Individually wrapped portions of string cheese (kept in cooler ).
Bring baked whole grain crackers along on your trip.
You can also pack sandwiches made with whole grain bread and peanut butter or lean meats. Keep these in the cooler of course!
Nuts such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts contain polyunsaturated fats and are easy to take on a trip in either individual bags or larger containers.
Cheers to a healthy and safe vacation....
