DOLCE LIFESTYLE: Road Trip Munchies
by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD
Road trips usually mean great times with friends and family while en route to the beach or some other fun destination. But just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean you have to throw your diet out of the (car) window. Instead, toss the nasty habits out with these great road trip snack alternatives!
Nuts and Seeds: Mix and match all kinds of varieties for a plethora of flavor and portion out the amount in small snack bags or resealable containers prior to hitting the road.
Veggie Chips: Simply drizzle some thinly sliced veggies with grapeseed oil and sprinkle on some seasonings, then bake on 350° for 10-15 minutes. Once done, just toss them in a snack bag or resealable containers so they don’t get crushed and enjoy! The perfect way to fit in that savory snack.
ChocoFree Metabolate™: These savory morsels are 100% Natural Chocolate w/ Green Coffee Extract & Capsaicin. They’re the perfect thing to satisfy that sweet tooth. They are sugar-free, dairy-free, GMO-free and 100% Dolce Approved! Click here to get delicious Metabolate™ chocolate at Onnit.com!
Frozen Fruit: Make sure to pack that cooler. Simply pop either grapes, berries or any other fruit of choice in the freezer a few hours before your trip. You’ll get that cold, sweet sensation without the guilt! Pair it with the Metabolate™ from above, and you’re in for a real treat!
Water: Make sure you bring along lots of water for your trip to stay hydrated. You can infuse it with fruit the day before to give it a healthy kick of flavor. For a longer ride, you may want to avoid tea and coffee due to their diuretic effect, which could cause you to require more frequent rest stops.
