Snacks On A Plane...

Better than snakes. Ha.

I am traveling again this Friday and will need some easy grab and go snacks that I can throw in a bag and open on the plane. I always have cheese sticks, but any other suggestions? I looked at some of the protein bars available, but even the low sugar ones are packed with carbs. 17g is the lowest I could find.

Any suggestions? I'm open to things that take minimal preparation and obviously can be easily eaten on a plane.

Thanks in in advance, lovely people!

Jerky, nuts, Mr. Cheese O's. 17g of carbs is not too bad for a protein bar. I can never eat more than 1/2 of a protein bar at a time, so I am ok with eating the occasional protein bar that has at least as many grams of protein as carbs. If it has more carbs than protein, then it's not a protein bar. They are just so dense and dry that I can't imagine eating an entire bar at once.

I used to travel quite a bit and I always prepared my own snacks, so that I wouldn't have to eat the higher calorie ones provided. For me, I would do pepperoni crisps and string cheese crisps. Both are good cold or hot. I just put them into a zip lock baggie and go. Later on, I added small single serving bags of almonds to change things up and were easy to take on a plane.

How long is your flight? Unless it's over 6 hours, I wouldn't feel the need to pack snacks. I travel quite often.

I usually carry 30g of almonds and a Quest bar in a flavor I don't really prefer (that way I don't just eat it unless I really need something) in my purse for emergencies.
