Road Food

My family and are will be going on an unexpected road trip for a family funeral. I'm looking for some suggestions for paleo road food.
The last time we had a trip, I was limited to nuts, fruits, and whenever we went out to eat, I had steak and eggs from some all day breakfast place, either that or grilled chicken salads (boring). I really don't want a repeat of that. Help!

Sorry to hear about your loss.
If you can bring a cooler, I've brought hard boiled eggs, cheese, etc. I also made my own fat bombs, coconut flour muffins, and beef jerky that kept a few days without refrigeration. How long are you going to be gone? Steak, eggs, and salads are ok for a few days. Sounds delicious to me!

I'm leaving on a road trip tomorrow. I'm packing a cooler to take on the road. I have made Paleo Chili and packed it in a couple small bowls. I figured most gas stations will have a microwave I can use. I've made some Paleo lemon-blueberry muffins and packed nuts, apples and almond butter for snacks.0

We've always packed a cooler of food (because of allergies) and we make sure to get hotel rooms with a fridge. We also pack paper plates, napkins, cutlery etc for eating on the road.
We pack jerky, pepperoni, veggies, fruits, hard boiled eggs, salad, cooked chicken chunks, canned tuna (and a can opener) muffins, trail mix. nuts. I also pack non-paleo mints or jolly ranchers, because I get carsick and having something to suck on helps.0 -
I road trip a lot. In my cooler go boiled eggs, fruits, vegetables, nuts, meat sticks/pepperoni, sometimes sliced turkey or chicken, cheese, and some jerky.0

Thanks. We're leaving tomorrow morning and coming back Sunday. I found turkey jerky, some assorted raw nuts, the hard boiled eggs are a good idea. I can live with eating steak and eggs and salad if I have to.
We ended up picking a hotel with a decent gym and indoor pool, so I won't be missing my workouts. I just need a decent substitute for sweet potatoes since I won't have access to an oven.0 -

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, but I've microwaved (or you can bake) sweet potatoes ahead of time, mixed in my butter/coconut oil and cinnamon, put in a container, and brought with me in a cooler (though, I admit for less than a day, I've left unrefrigerated). Eating cold isn't my preference, but I'll do it. Otherwise, I bring a banana.0 -
On road trips I like to stop and eat at Cracker Barrel. They have a really nice low carb menu.0

Sweet potato mud pies! These are my all day bike ride fuel and they keep well in a sealed container.
1 baked sweet potato, flesh scooped out and mashed
1 egg
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp raw cacao powder
1 tbsp raw honey/agave/maple syrup
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1 tbsp coconut oil or coconut butter
pinch of sea salt
Whisk the egg. Add sweet potato and coconut oil/butter (softened) and blitz with a blender until it's smooth.
Fold through the dry ingredients. Bake at 180 C (160 fan oven) for 20-25 mins, then cut into squares.
If you want to pack more into them, add chopped nuts and/or dried fruit, I also like to put blueberries or raspberries in them. I don't use the honey either if I add berries, they're sweet enough.
All the best for the trip.0 -

Awesome, thanks for the recipe!! I'll be out of town next weekend, and I think I'll try this. Cheers! 0 -
Bump to see if anyone else has any good ideas, as I'll be travelling this weekend and will need to bring some food - I'm fine with choosing something at restaurants, but I also need ideas for on the road snacks, and between game food (I"ll be at a rugby tournament all weekend).0

I took some pistachios, nitrate free lunch neat, apples, almond butter, veggies and guacamole for snacks on my recent drive to Florida and back (12 hours each way).0

For those wondering, I did try this recipe, and made a big batch all at once - like 4 sweet potatoes' worth. Since I didn't eat all of it that weekend, I cut them and froze, wrapped individually. Then I can take out one at a time. Works great! 0 -
I'll be making a road trip next week and will have these with me: Macadamia nuts, individually wrapped cheese, canned salmon (Wild Planet has the pop-top lid so no can opener needed), and Nick's sticks (beef sticks). Otherwise, I stick to salads when eating at fast food joints and steak or seafood when eating out at night.0

I just made 5lbs of home made jerky. It's delicious and portable. My MIL vacuum seals if for me in 2oz packs, I just leave them in my glove box when it's the winter months. Not sure how they'll fare in the summer. Might not be a great idea to leave them.0
