Whether you’re road tripping across country, taking the train to the beach, heading upstate to go fall foliage peeping, flying off to somewhere fabulous (or even if you’re just planning a stay-cation), these go-to to-go goodies will make all journeys a little tastier:
1. Mocha Cayenne Energy Bar – You know the car needs gas. Well, you need caffeine! So fuel up for an early morning start or an all-night drive with The Yes Bar's organic chocolate-coffee energy bar. You know that cinnamon-cayenne kick you get from Mexican hot chocolate? Imagine that mixed with crunchy seeds and nuts, and the satisfying chew of dried fruit. HOLA!
2. Smoky Crunchy Split Peas – North River Dry Goods roasts yellow split peas in non-GMO expeller pressed canola oil (the good stuff) then finishes 'em off with a sprinkle of sea salt, onion powder, paprika, chipotle pepper and a few other secret spices. They're a ridiculously satisfying, totally healthy substitute for potato chips.
3. Sea Salt + Pepper Pistachios – Go totally nuts for the crunch of roasted pistachios tossed in sea salt and black pepper. Bonus: The well-designed box, complete with space to keep your empty shells, fits in most cup-holders. The folks at Gilded Nut Snack Co. really thought of everything.
4. Sriracha Cheddar Cheesy Puffs – Leave the fake cheese powder-dusted corn balls in the rest stop vending machine. Fuller Foods’ sriracha-laced poofs are the real deal! And they’re baked, not fried.
5. Honey Bourbon Brisket Beef Jerky – True Jerky’s tender, juicy jerky is infused with maple and a heady slug of bourbon. It's seriously intoxicating... but won’t get you a DUI.
We call shotgun!
