Healthy Road Trip Trail Mix

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Road Trip Trail Mix | Dietitian Debbie DishesI can’t believe Will and I get married next week! On Friday, we leave for a two week cross country road trip that starts here in Chicago and takes us east to Pennsylvania, south to Memphis, Austin, Albuquerque, LA, and then north again to Seattle. I am so excited to celebrate our marriage with good friends and family along the way!

As I mentioned last week, I’ve been trying to squirrel away travel friendly snacks for the road because it is so hard to find healthy snacks in roadside gas stations. These two trail mixes are great for road trips, hiking adventures, or even the office. Both of them are great for keeping your energy levels up while on the road since they provide the perfect balance of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fat, and fiber to keep you feeling satisfied until your next meal.

Maintaining your energy levels during lengthy road trips, as well as on the long and tiresome hiking trails has never been more important. If you don’t have anything to give you a boost when you need it the most, these activities will become even more strenuous. Luckily our snacks, along with some hydration packs that we’d been told to look for before starting out, can help us to receive fresh fluids and motivation when it comes to getting through the road journey or to reach the end of the trail. I’ve never thought about it before, but I think they could well and truly be a blessing in disguise. I’ll have to make sure we keep our fingers crossed.

    Both mixes sound really tasty. I love having trail mix just in a bowl at home to snack on whenever I’m a little peckish! Hope you have a lovely trip and congratulations on your wedding!

    Great photos Debbie! I love making my own trail mixes when I’m traveling too and I always have to have something sweet in it like dried fruit or chocolate so these are both perfect!
