What are some good travel foods to bring on a long trip away from home?

Question

I am traveling from Tennessee to Indianapolis, about a six hour trip. It is a business trip which I will be there for 5 days. I need quick easy food tips for the trip and while I am there at the hotel. I don't want to go out every day for each meal so I need to go to the grocery and purchase food that is good and healthy for the trip.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

What about trail-mix...journey food!

Apples are always good, plus if you lack the time to brush your teeth, just eat an apple. Furthermore, it allows you to be mobile and permit nourishment.

nuts, for journeys are good. Pistachio's or sunflower seeds, almonds too!

Fruit salad cups! Of course for desert --- some cakes.

Few suggestions...I think for the trip at least, nuts and trail-mix will appease your hunger.

For the hotel, since you should have access to a fridge, get lots of fruit (clementines, apples....) get you started right. Some jam and some fancy bakery bread, or milk and some cereal...

Cheers, Jason S.

Have a nice trip!

Answer 2

Do you plan to carry ALL the food you're going to be eating for 5 days? Or just food to sustain you on the road?

For the actual road trip, you'll want things that are fairly healthy, and easily preserved. If you're doing the actual driving, carrot and celery sticks (and other crunchy vegetables) are best. They're nutritious, and they have the added benefit of being "noisy" when you eat them. That'll help keep you alert while you drive. BTW, stay away from excessive coffee/caffeine while on a road trip. It can upset your stomach on a long trip, and you don't want to experience the caffeine "crash". Plus, more coffee equals more "pit stops".

Use a picnic-style travel cooler, and fill it with raw veggies, fresh fruit, trail mix, containers of yogurt, etc. Whatever you like. (And don't forget some of those blue frozen things to keep everything cool). Unless you have dietary restrictions, don't worry about packing drinks into the cooler...no matter where you are, you can always find bottled water.

Answer 3

I would pack some sandwich meat in a cooler and some fixins and bread along with bottled water. Some instant soup might work if your hotel has a microwave. Fruit works too.

Answer 4

Probably can use coffee maker at hotel for hot water, so bring instant oatmeal, soup cups, hot chocolate......

Luna Bars, Pringles, Bananas, Oranges, Almonds etc.... Can bring packages of cinnamon rolls or cinnamon/raisin bread for breakfasts.

Answer 5

hi, Awe congrats on the hot puppy! a million: If no one is going with you, you need to truly get a crate. If someone is going with you, they could carry the puppy, or in the adventure that they are driving you are able to. it is what we did with my Aunts canines. 2: We not in any respect fed our canines this regularly! We oftentimes fed them 2 situations an afternoon. once in the morning some hours when they are up, and then again some hours in the previous mattress. 3: i imagine the call Taz is way cuter! And slightly more beneficial unique. another male names that i love are Oliver, Oscar, circumvent and Bently. delight in!
