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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissNikki27 54 Posted June 28, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLCoggin 1,788 Posted June 28, 2013 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deaddemmama 474 Posted June 29, 2013 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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
