Healthy Snack Ideas to Take on a Cross Country Move

A cross country move is both an exciting and stressful event. Whether you are moving on your own, with kids in tow or with an animal companion, having healthy snacks on board will make the whole experience easier. Snacks should be non-perishable, healthy, tasty, able to accommodate restrictions and allergies, easy to store, and easy to eat.

Healthy Snack Ideas to Take on a Cross Country Move

Dried fruit

Dried fruit is portable, sweet, easy to eat and needs no utensils or refrigeration. While raisins are the standby, consider dried pineapple, banana chips or dried apple slices.

Trail mix

Trail mix can be customized. A healthy mix of nuts, seeds, dried coconut flakes, dried fruit and a few organic chocolate chips will keep everyone happy on the road.

Granola bars

Try to find a brand that is lower in sugar and fat than the leading counterparts. Smaller kid-sized bars can be enjoyed by all ages.

Crunchy snacks

Look for unique varieties that have fiber and are lower in fat. Vegetable chips, baked potato chips and gluten free pretzels are all great choices.

Protein-rich bars

Whole foods bars made of nuts, dates and other dried fruits are great for vegan and plant-based travelers. More conventional protein bars can be high in calories, so check the label.

Roasted chickpeas

Make a batch before you leave. Season with salt and pepper, ranch seasoning or leave plain. They store well in an airtight bag for several days.

Fruit cups and pouches

Fruit cups with utensils in the lid help when you will not have a spoon. Fruit and veggie pouches are often near applesauce or in the baby food section. For the shipment itself, start with long-distance moving. The original article included a guest note from Paige Williams, then a public relations specialist representing Fitness 19.
