Snack recipes good for road trip

We are going on a big family vacation and I would like to make several homemade snacks we can bring along in the car that would be healthier and cheaper than quick stops. Anyone have any recipes to inspire me?

Re: Snack recipes good for road trip

  • I would do things like homemade granola bars, trail mix, pretzels, baked chips, dried fruit, almonds, etc.

    I'd portion everything out into snack sized bags. If you'll have access to a cooler as well, I'd also do things like cut up veggies (and maybe a few little containers of dip or dressing), string cheese or cheese cubes, pepperoni or lunch meat rolls, cut up fruit, etc.

  • Well what do you like to snack on usually...

     I think the key is having everything portioned...nobody is going to want to dig into a giant bowl of watermelon to snack...

    But any/all fruit would be good to me, string cheese, beef jerky

    when you say homemade snacks...again, what types of snacks to do you homemake?

  • One of my favorite snacks: plain air-popped popcorn, animal crackers, pecan halves, and dried blueberries. just mix them all up and it is the perfect salty-sweet snack mix!

    happy traveling!

  • We like muffins (banana oat or apple) and beef or potato pies.  So it serves as a pseudo meal without snacking every half hour and prevents us from buying fries and chicken nuggets.
