Ideas for Meals and Snacks when Travelling?

Blingslinger

Hello fellow CTL peeps

I'm taking a trip to CA this week (we're driving). I thought I'd post and see if you guys have any suggestions for snacks/meals that travel well, are easy, and will keep me on my CTL path? I can bring a cooler, but space will be limited. For example, I have Babe's suggestion for on the go low carb snack:

Turkey Jerky" (protein, usually 1oz)
baby carrots (veggie - one serving = 85)
String cheese or nuts: usually almonds (fat)

I would love any other suggestions you might have! Thanks all!

Sorry I can't be of much help yet (just started yesterday), but have a great trip!
I am really looking forward to some of the answers as I work long hours and most of my meals are consumed at work so I need them portable and quick.

If you have a cooler, another LC option that I love to take is sliced herb turkey (lunch meat) 2 oz, a string cheese & broccoli/carrots/celery. Sometimes I even make a veggie dip with greek yogurt and a black pepper dressing seasoning from Penzy's spices.

HC favorite to go meals would be greek yogurt and fruit.

Some stores sell single servings of almond butter in little packages that can be used as a dip for celery sticks. When I travel I either pre-measure protein powder in plastic bags and take bottles of water, or bring a few containers of prepared protein drinks in case I get caught without a suitable meal choice.

I also do the following when traveling:

--oatmeal, packaged myself in individual servings
--my shakes
--tuna packets
--peanut butter packets
--packets of nuts
--protein bars (I like Kind or Think Thin)
