We don’t know about you, but we’ve been wanting to get out and do some exploring! So road trips have been our ideal social distancing safe means of travel these days! But there’s no quality road trip without a strong snack game!
Crunchy snacks and fizzy drinks are necessary for hitting the road. So we compiled a list of what we’ve been packing on the road to help us keep fueled between our destinations.
We grew up on eating bacon bits straight from the bag/shaker bottle. Remember those? Lucky for us, we don’t have to reminisce any longer! All Yall’s Foods newest plant-based snack addition, Big Crunchy Bacony Bits deliver on big bacon flavor and crunch.
Not only are Big Crunchy Bacony Bits a kind, plant-based snack, they also make a delicious addition to your favorite recipes, such as pizza, meatloaf, mac and cheese, meatballs, burgers, and hotdogs. But when it comes to road trips, we’re keeping things real simple and eating them by the handful.
Petal Sparkling Original Rose Botanical Beverage
There’s nothing quite so refreshing as a freshly opened bottle of sparking water, especially when you’ve been driving for hours! Bonus points for having a light, fruity and floral flavor behind the subtle fizziness.
This better-for-you beverage does the trick to satisfy our taste buds and spirit with minimal sugar and no caffeine. Each blend is organic and features helpful antioxidants to keep us powered for our adventures ahead.
Petal comes in Original and a few other flavors like, Elderberry White Tea Flower, Lemongrass Dandelion, Peach Marigold, Mint Rose and Lychee Rose.
PigOut Snacks Salt & Vinegar “Pigless Pork Rinds”
Now we all now that every gas stations have salty pork rinds that are the classic road trip snack, but obviously those aren’t vegan-friendly and though we may have had them as a kid (pre-vegan), but we’re not about that life anymore. Doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the same texture and flavor though!
We’re thankful for Outstanding Foods’ Pig Out snacks and they’re new flavor that has the perfect balance of salty and sour. Not to mention the extra boost of 7g of plant protein, always baked, never fried and totally gluten free!
It’s always nice to have something chewy to munch on while jamming through your roadtrip playlist! That’s why we’ve been digging these Woodridge Ginger Chews for their subtle, nutty flavor of roasted sesame seeds and a balance of tanginess from the ginger in their Sesame Ginger Chews.
Every vegan knows the magic of date-based energy bites, but MAGICdATES has an extra flare to them, hence the name “Magic” dates. 😉
The resealable bag makes for the perfect car-snack for on-the-go and just about anytime, really. We like to enjoy these as a little sweet treat after a meal, or simply to balance out the salty, crunchy snacks we ate before.
The Lemon flavor has been our current favorite for its fresh and zesty bite.
Skout Chocolate Cherry Protein Bar
Protein bars are a dime a dozen these days, which makes it hard to actually find one that not only has all the nutrients we want to keep us fueled, but actually tastes good too.
This bar is basically like eating Black forest cake only in bar form. Yes please. The Skout bars come in many different flavors, but the Chocolate Cherry Protein Bars are especially rich, dense, and packed with ingredients our bodies love, like 10g of plant-based protein and only 7 Organic ingredients.
We’re glad these come in a “snack” size AND a resealable bag because they are addictive. The Balsamic vinegar has especially been grazing out attention with the combination of smoked salt that brings out a special sweet-tart flavor. Another ideal snack to just eat by the handful!
We’ve talked about our love for PopZero before, but we’ll say it again: we can’t get enough of this stuff!
With only three simple ingredients and made from non-GMO mushroom kernels and with heart-healthy algae oil, and sea salt, it’s easy to see how their popcorn stands out from the rest. So it always makes the road trip snack bag cut. 😉
It’s always great to have a bag of Karma cashews on hand. The Toasted Coconut flavor is our current favorite for it’s versatility to be paired with both something sweet or savory.
Made with real toasted coconut and pure cane sugar, the taste is truly unique. With the roasted cashews, there is very minimal processing and a reliable source of 6 essential minerals. We love that it is also non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, fully vegan, and kosher-friendly.
