    I LOVE road trips!! (just had to put that out there :happy: )

    When I am the primary driver (for more than half the trip) I pack:
    natural almonds (no salt or flavoring)
    bananas
    apples
    pears
    Kind nutty bars (the coconut almond ones are my fave)
    water and iced tea (homemade with a little honey or a little sugar because I dont care for artificial sweeteners)

    If I am not the primary driver:
    protein sandwich (egg whites, chicken, provolone on fiber one bread)
    pita chips
    fruit (same as above)
    Kind bars
    iced tea or water
    a good book

    Fruit goes well in my car because I can pass it back (I have 3 kids, aged 9, 7 and 2) as well as nuts and pita chips
    I dont let anyone pack any candy, potato chips, cookies or pies because I dont want to be tempted. If we stop for gas, I avoid going inside the station

    If we stop for food, we try to pick a buffet so that I can get a loaded salad and everyone else can get what they want. Buffets dont really bother me because I dont like their food (too bland) and their desserts dont tempt me at all.

    Hope this helps, enjoy your trip!

    Huh. After reading the title, my answer was going to be Glock 26.
    Nice I like how you think:bigsmile:

    I'd eat before, but my car is new and I'm still too precious about it to eat in it.

    This^^^

    but if I ABSOLUTELY have no other option I'll pack fruit, a protein shake, and a protein bar of some sort. Eating it outside of my car.

    I will be driving so a sandwich becomes difficult. I'm not that coordinated.:ohwell: thanks it's a start:happy:

    This sounds dangerous to me - if you're doing the driving you shouldn't be eating at the same time. I don't know what the laws are where you are but if you did that in England you could be arrested, which is probably better than causing an accident and killing someone. Either eat when you get there or stop for 15 minutes to eat and take a break.

    Thanks the first part is where I am and it is not so long that I plan to stop so I won't have to worry about that.

    Usually Combos or chips. Or nothing.

    Kind bars (blueberry pecan are my favs)
    Fruit and Veggie Smoothie (I blend it the night before and throw it in the freezer so it's still frosty halfway through my trip)
    Almonds or trail mix

    I love the idea someone else posted about packing wraps. Going to try that one myself next time. :)
