Make your own! Mix together a whole grain cereal such as Wheat Chex or Cheerios, nuts, dried fruit and dark chocolate pieces. Place in individual baggies.. The snack doesn’t require refrigeration so can last the length of your trip. Energy Bars Choose those with few ingredients, low in added sugar (less than 6 grams), contain some protein (more than 3 grams) and fiber (at least 2 grams)per serving. Kind Bars and Lara Bars are excellent choices because they are satisfying, tasty and contain more “whole food” ingredients. If you don’t pack ahead, good news! Most of the aforementioned items can be found at most convenient stores or airport vendors. Happy snacking!
