Have a 8 hour road trip. We are leaving after breakfast and dont plan to stop. Just wondering what some good, possibably healthier, snacks are. Also what are some good lunch ideas that we wouldn't have to stop to make? Only thing we know we're bringing is Mt Dew.

Eat healthy snacks in the car:
* Load up on fresh-cut vegetables and fruit. Bring along a small cooler with ice packs to keep your snacks fresh.
* Bring plenty of water. It will keep you hydrated and, if you spill it, won’t stain the upholstery like sodas.
* Individually wrapped portions of string cheese or vegetarian cheese alternatives can be kept in the cooler with the fruit and vegetables. They are a great source of calcium and protein.
* Bring baked whole grain crackers along on your trip. This is good for added fiber and nutrients.
* Don’t overindulge in greasy chips. There are baked varieties that have a lot less unhealthy fats. You need to watch how much you eat of those too, however, since they don’t offer much in the way of nutrition.
* You can also pack sandwiches made with whole grain bread and peanut butter or lean meats. Keep these in the cooler, too.
* Nuts such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts contain polyunsaturated fats and are easy to take on a trip in either individual bags or larger containers.

I would say stock up on snack foods like trail mix, pretzels, or dry cereal. Keep things in the car that won't go bad and that are easy to access. Also, keep in mind that you probably don't want anything that's too messy.

Gotta have the Dew! I'd say go with trail mix. It's got the healthy nuts, some dried fruit and, depending on what one you pick, M&M's. I'd take that. ^^

We always stop by at KFC or Denny's and if we like more food, we go to Old Country Buffet.
