Snack smarter with these 10 healthier travel friendly snacks that are easy to take anywhere. These gluten free travel snacks range from vegan, grain free, dairy free, and paleo options.Â
Hello friends!
I write this from Liverpool having just come back from a quick weekend in Dublin. I’ve got one day to get my bearings before I head to Arizona to spend Thanksgiving with my family.
That being said, I’m trying to be on my best behavior by not checking into vacation mode too soon and not eat all the airport junk (the really addicting and delicious airport junk) that tempts me at every terminal. As much as I love pop tarts and cheez-itz, I genuinely feel better giving the junk food a miss.
Here’s a list of 10 healthier travel friendly snacks that are easy to pack on the road, get you through the TSA, and take with you anywhere. All of these snacks are gluten free with many vegan, nut free, and Paleo options available.
Enjoy!
