• Nuts -Almonds, cashews, pistachios or even sunflower seeds.
• Bars (protein bars, fruit/nut bars, natural fruit bars or granola bars) We like Kind Bars, Lara Bars and Cliff Bars.
• Dried Fruit – banana chips or dried mango are our faves
• Dark Chocolate
• Pretzels (in a sealed thin Tupperware container to avoid getting smashed)
• Popcorn – if there will be a microwave at your destination – bags of microwavable popcorn
