and can withstand heat, so nothing that melts or turns gooey! (I live in Florida). I would like to cut back on pre-packaged crackers and just protein bars gets old (and kinda melty now that the temperatures are rising). I'd like stuff that I can throw in my bag for later or even something I can leave in the car console.

Not TOO carb-heavy, if possible.

Thanks!

    Almonds, 1/3 cup per day,

    I find I crave the crunchy stuff when I travel, so - Mary's organic crackers - gluten free - found them in Costco.

    Cooler bag works good too - freeze water bottle to keep your apples cool. Bananas do not travel well!!

    I average 900 - 1000 kms a week in my car - I travel with premeasured snacks. Otherwise - I would eat the whole bag of trail mix!!
    I am home every night so I can restock. And when I am on the road - I am very careful to have exactly what I need. Gas stations have way too much temptation for me.

    You could make some flapjacks, cut right back on the butter and sugar, add a little honey instead - throw in some crushed walnuts, almonds and some dried fruit.
    Make a batch and they will last you throughout the week - healthy and delicious :-)
