Hey guys! First let me say that the recipes on this site are awesome (I have tried many and EVERYONE should try the noodleless lasagna!) So thanks for posting them!!!

Ok, on October 22 I am leaving for a week long trip to Florida (yay!) which is a 14 hour drive for me. My first problem is that on long trips I tend to snack in the car. Does anyone have any recipes that would keep in a car?

Also, I would prefer to not eat fast food unless I absolutely have to, so again, any ideas? I would just pack a huge salad and eat it twice but raw veggies don't like me anymore :(

Thanks everyone!!

You could keep things simple...tuna packets, nuts, veggies.  Make some onion dip with Greek yogurt.  Boil some eggs or make a chicken salad and use a cooler.  Take some string cheese.  If staying overnight then maybe find a grocery store when you stop.

Almonds!!! Yummm!  (Especially the smokehouse variety)

If you can take a small cooler, I'd take some string cheese and sliced ham/turkey.  They'd be easy to eat on the road.

Have a great trip!

Jerkey!!!! at work i basically work out of my car so i have things in there that i can snack on when i feel hungry. I LOVE jack links turkey nugget jerkey.

nuts- i dont go to them often but crunchy salty and they are protein

as the other said if you can bring a small cooler or even insulated lunch box with an ice pack  bring string cheese and deli meats are always good

if you have to stop for food along the way try for a subway or any deli or quick mart like wawa or quick check etc . i order just the insides of the sandwich

in my trunk i also keep a tub of nectar's iced tea protein powder i just pick up a bottle of water while on the road and shake it up and its ready to drink!

in my glove box i keep protein bars for emergencies only tho i dont like to count on them much

tuna pouches are good too

or i have gotten lunchables at mini marts in a pinch. i dont eat the crackers but the turkey and ham and cheese aren't that bad if your stuck its bettern than fast food.

Thanks guys! I guess I just wasn't thinking right at all! Nuts, deli meat, string cheese, and tuna are foods I eat a lot of and it didnt even occur to me to take them!

You guys are awesome! Thanks again!

All the above are great ideas.

Also Wendy's chili or Taco Bell Pinto beans & cheese are fast food options.
