]]> Airline food has been the butt of many a joke for decades, and while it’s true that some airlines have upped their culinary game in recent years, the quality of meals served on most commercial flights is still largely hit or miss. To serve as a backup for subpar food or just to enjoy throughout our time in the air, we always make sure to pack plenty of snacks. That said, it’s important to be aware of TSA restrictions when choosing snacks to avoid having them confiscated while going through security. Here are a few of our go-tos.

Fruit

While the legalities of traveling with fruit do vary by destination (most countries don’t allow the importation of produce), it’s usually okay to bring fruit on the plane. Beyond being tasty and convenient, the high water content of fruit can help you stay hydrated throughout your flight, as the air in most cabins tends to be quite dry. Options like apples and bananas are easiest to pack, while grapes and cubed melon contain the most water for hydration.

Mixed Nuts

Nuts are a great source of protein and healthy fats and are pretty much guaranteed to make it through security without a hitch. Even a handful of mixed nuts is enough to keep your tummy full and your blood sugar stable for hours, making them one of the best choices if you’ve got limited space in your carry-on bag. Just be sure to choose an unsalted variety, as salt can make dehydration worse.

Sandwiches

If you prefer to bring something that feels more like a meal, a sandwich may be the best way to go. Not only can you customize it according to your preferences, you won’t need any special dishes or cutlery to enjoy your sandwich come mealtime.

]]> Let’s be real—it’s not a road trip unless you have awesome snacks. Some might even say that the quality of your snacks determines the quality of your trip! Given this information, we want to make sure you’re prepared to have the best road trip, starting with the top 5 road trip snacks.

Nuts

To keep you full and satisfied no matter how long your trip is, nuts are a great option. Nuts are packed with protein and fiber, which means they keep you full and energized. This makes them the perfect snack for long car rides!

Jerky

You may know about beef jerky, but have you tried mushroom jerky? It’s so delicious and doesn’t need to be refrigerated, making this a great snack for meat-eaters or vegetarians.

Chocolate-Covered Pretzels

Salty and sweet, these treats will satisfy that sweet tooth we all have. There’s something about road trips that just leave you needing a chocolatey snack, and chocolate-covered pretzels are the perfect fix.

Fruit

Sometimes all you want is a refreshing fruit snack, but some fruits are difficult to eat on the go. We recommend picking fruit that won’t leave a mess or cutting them beforehand. Some great options are pre-cutpineapple, orange slices, and berries. You can also choose to bring dried fruit if you can’t be bothered to prep beforehand.

Granola Bars

Just in case you stop for a quick hike along the way, or want something easy to pack, granola bars are a great option. You can select whatever sounds good, but we recommend picking one with added protein to keep you satisfied longer! You could even make some yourself if you’re feeling creative.

Koeksisters, South Africa

Koeksisters, pronounced like ”cook sister”, is a traditional treat from South Africa that’s very similar to donuts. They’re made from delicious, crunchy pastry that’s fried and dipped in syrup.

Loukoumades, Greece

Coxinhas, Brazil

Coxinhas are crispy croquettes filled with meat that you’ll find literally everywhere in Brazil, because it’s the most popular finger food in this country and the perfect snack for tourists to try.

Taiyaki, Japan

There are so many interesting street foods to try in Japan, but this fish-shaped snack stuffed with sweetened red bean paste, or chocolate and matcha filling is one of the most delicious.

Ghoraibi, Lebanon

Ghoraibi, or ghraybeh, are soft and buttery cookies that are popular in Lebanon, and Middle East in general.
