Hey y'all, My family and I are taking a road trip to Colorado next week. It's a 14 hour drive, what do y'all recommend food-wise for road tripping?

I'm 2 months out, and can handle most things that aren't bready.

We did 14hrs road trip in early june. I had pre made crystal light bottles, Gatorade has some nice choc Protein bottles premixed so I had a few of them,Protein Bars,snack crackers, blueberries in a cooler. Mainly I could live with that and some tender bites beef Jerky. :)

I will be going on a road trip about a month after surgery. God willing of course. I was concerned about the same thing. Would anyone advise against it. I know I will do all the driving since my hubby isn't taken the trip and I will have 3 small children with me. (ages 2, 8, and 9) I know I will have to pack healthy Snacks and drink very little because I'm driving of course I don't want to keep stopping.

Protein bars and shakes, virtually all nuts (including peanuts) are healthy but almonds are especially good, turkey Jerky (you might want to try Pacific Gold from Costco), Old Wisconsin Turkey Bites (Walmart and over the top tasty), Kashi pita crisps, Babybell Light Mini Cheeses, string cheese, some (not all) trail mixes, yogurt (Oikos is the best I've ever tasted), rice cakes (Quaker has some really good ones, both sweet and savory flavors), I like the "small" Lunchables (Ham and Swiss and crackers only are my favorite but they can be hard to find - try Target), Kellogg Special K Cracker chips (great substitute for potato chips or fries), and you can't go wrong with chicken, fish or turkey as long as it's not fried.

Colorado has the most beautiful mountains in the world!! Have a great trip!!

I would definitely either bring Protein Shakes for the way...I went on a trip that was 8 hours each way and it was hard to get in Protein.< /p>

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.

        I'm so sorry. I lost my pup (Mr. Bitters - a chocolate Pomeranian) 2 years ago and it still makes me tear up. He was my everything - my constant companion. I understand. Do the best you can to get back on track.
