14 Of The Best Travel Snacks To Fuel Your Family's Next Adventure

Mixed salty snacks. Flat lay table scene on a rustic wood background. As summer break winds down, we have a few more weeks to fit in some family travel before returning to the school year. While the 4th of July is typically the most famed travel day, 83% of people said they plan to drive to their summer vacation destination, a cost-effective choice that allows for more flexibility. In fact, 54% said they will drive instead of fly due to the increasing cost of airfare, according to a survey conducted by Gas Station TV. Whether you're looking for something sweet, savory, healthy, or picky-eater approved, we've rounded up 14 tasty snacks to fuel your family's next adventure. 1. Albanese True to Fruit Exotic Fruit Gummy Bears Albanese True to Fruit Gummies Many claim to be the best fruit snack or gummy, but Alabense is far above the rest. If you follow me on social media, you'll know that every trip, whether it's a flight or a road trip, starts with a snack haul, and Albanese gummies are always in my cart! I remember the first time I tried them, it was on a long flight, and they instantly became my go-to snack. They're soft, the perfect amount of gumminess, and just plain ole' delicious! 2. Sargento Shareables Snack Tray Sargento Shareables Sargento, known for its delicious cheese, offers a convenient solution for your on-the-go days. Simply toss a few of these snack trays in your cooler, and you're all set for a day of adventure. Who can resist a savory cheese and cracker moment? 3. Made Good Granola Bites Made Good Strawberry Granola Minis These granola bites come in a convenient resealable bag, making them perfect for on-the-go snacking. I am not a huge breakfast person when I am traveling, but I like to have something. These granola bites are a staple in my house and always in my bag. They're chewy with the perfect hint of sweetness and flavor. 4. Justin's Almond Butter Justin's Maple Almond Butter My youngest niece, a picky eater, has found her match with these nut butter pouches. The beauty of these pouches lies in their versatility. Whether she's eating it alone, spreading it on a cracker, or dipping apple slices, she's in control of her snack time. 5. Stellar Pretzel Braids Stellar Maui Monk Pretzel Braids We may all be familiar with Stellar Pretzels, as it's offered as a snack option by some airlines. They offer bold flavors, such as Dijon Mustard, without being overpowering. One bite, and you'll be back for more. 6. Tru Fru Snacks TruFru Strawberries Prepare to indulge in a delightful treat. The fruit is fresh, and the chocolate used for dipping is velvety smooth. Whether you choose white chocolate, dark chocolate, or both, each bite is a journey into pure satisfaction. Trust me, you'll find yourself sampling all the flavors. 7. Jack Links Beef Jerky Jack Links Duo Jerky Packs How many times have we had to juggle multiple packs of our favorite jerky flavors to mix into one bag? The struggle is over with Jack Links Duo. Each pack offers two flavors, providing a convenient solution that saves you time and brings joy to your taste buds with every bite. You won't be able to pick a favorite, the duos are just too good! 8. Zarbee's Triple Action Hydration Electrolyte Drink Zarbee's Hydration Electrolyte Drink Pouches Encouraging children to drink water can be challenging. We love these drink pouches because they allow the tiny ones to easily grab one for a self-serve option, keeping them hydrated. These pouches are not just convenient, but also loved by picky eaters due to their delicious and natural flavors. Anything that is picky-eater approved is 10/10 in our house! She loves both the Strawberry Lemonade and Lemon Lime pouches. 9. Effie's Homemade Biscuits Effie's Homemade Biscuits These little treats are somewhere between a cookie and a cracker, but definitely pack the flavor. The corn, yes, corn, biscuits are a pleasant surprise. They're easy to toss in everyone's snack bag and are a good source of nutrition on the go! 10. Sprinkles Cupcake Cups Sprinkles Red Velvet Cupcake Cups Every road trip needs a little something sweet. These bite-sized pieces of joy, with their convenient packaging, combine the flavors of cupcakes with the taste of rich chocolate. However, it's not too overwhelming or overindulgent. The Red Velvet and Birthday Cake flavors are exceptionally delicious! 11. That's It Mini Fruit Bars And Crunchables That's It Snack Options Healthy snacks help maintain a good balance and reinforce healthy eating habits. The mini fruit bars and crunchables, packed with essential nutrients, are great for the whole family to enjoy, especially the little ones! 12. Belgian Boys Breakfast All Day Belgian Boys Breakfast All Day These snack packs are a lifesaver for those hectic mornings when you need breakfast on the go. They come with a small wedge of cheese, mini buttered waffles, and dried fruit, making it a convenient and satisfying meal. 13. Heirloom Pipcorn Mini Popcorn Pipcorn Variety Pack Don't forget to pack an extra bag or two of this popcorn for your trip. Its mini size and truffle flavor make it a tasty and irresistible snack. One bag won't be enough for a road trip, so make sure you're prepared with extra snacks! 14. Unreal Snacks Variety Of Unreal Snacks Another notch for healthy snacks that are as delicious as they are nutritious. Unreal makes the candy we like, without the additives and yucky stuff we don't need. Think of them as a healthier alternative to treats like M&M's and Snickers. Don't Skip The Rest Stop Eats Even if you come prepared with a car full of snacks, sometimes you just want something hot and fresh. If you're traveling with a large family, lugging everyone into a restaurant can be a hassle. Convenience store foods are meeting consumer habits by providing budget-friendly and road-ready meals that are good. Pilot Travel Center's Fuel Kit Launched earlier this summer and available until September 2, Pilot Travel Center debuted an $8 Fuel Kit at over 340 locations nationwide. The Fuel Kits are customizable snack boxes, offering a variety of options to cater to your taste, featuring three crispy tenders, one choice of candy, a fountain drink of any size, and one bag of Frito-Lay brand chips. Circle K Meal Deal Line Up Circle K, the popular gas station, is your new destination for budget-friendly and delicious pit-stop meals. Their $3-$5 menu offers great value for money, with options for every meal of the day. If you're in need of a quick snack, their $3 meal deal includes a hot dog or a taquito, a 1-2 oz bag of Frito-Lays chips, and any size Polar Pop. For breakfast lovers, their mid-tier meal deal is the perfect choice. It's all about convenience-choose between a breakfast sandwich, add a hash brown, and any 16oz BANG, Ghost, C4 energy product, medium-sized coffee, or any size Polar Pop. No need to worry about what to eat in the morning, they've got you covered. Lastly, the $5 meal deal includes two slices of pizza or a personal pizza and a 20 oz soda product or any size Polar Pop. How To Store Your Travel Snacks Igloo Trailmate 70 Quart Cooler We store our snacks in various ways, depending on the type of adventure. For road trips, we opt for coolers. The Igloo Trailmate, our trusted companion, makes these trips a breeze. It's not just for road trips, but also for beach or park days, thanks to its all-terrain wheels. It features two built-in bottle openers, a butler's shelf, an interior food basket, side storage, and cup holders. And, it can fit 112 cans! We love how we can split the internal space for beverages, fruit trays, deli meats, and other perishables, making it a convenient and easy-to-use storage solution for any outdoor activity. Igloo KoolTunes Cooler With Built-In Speaker Our larger cooler, always ready in the trunk, is our refill station. In the backseat, we have a smaller cooler that's perfect for drinks, perishables, and group meals. It's a practical solution that keeps us reassured and prepared. For this, we use the Igloo KoolTunes, a versatile addition that doubles as a portable speaker. It's not just for beach days, hikes, or lake outings; it's for feeling ready for anything. The kids also travel with their backpacks filled with anything they may need during our travels, including snacks they don't want to share. We use a few things to help them keep their snacks close, depending on their needs. Whiskware Snack Containers Whiskware Snack Containers are a parent's dream, fitting perfectly in cup holders or bags, customizable, and each one features perfectly portioned jars to keep kids' favorite snacks handy for the whole ride. And when the journey is over, toss them into the dishwasher to ensure they're squeaky clean for the next use, giving you peace of mind about your child's snack time hygiene. I was able to select containers that matched my crew's personalities and interests, such as Disney Princesses, Toy Story, or their favorite color schemes. Owala FreeSip Series Speaking of, we matched our favorite containers to Owala tumblers. Additionally, their line of FreeSip and FreeSip Twist bottles makes it easy to manage drinks on the go: no spills, no leaks, no fuss, no mess. The Triple-layered, vacuum-insulated stainless steel keeps drinks cold for 24 hours. It's just what you need moving about on a hot summer day. AllHaula Insulated Dry Pouch 5L For snacks or bites that don't quite fit into containers, we rely on the All Haula Insulated Dry Pouches. These versatile pouches fit easily into any backpack or on the side of the All Haula Cooler. Despite their compact size, they can hold a surprising amount. Plus, they're a breeze to clean, ensuring you stay organized even in the face of leaks or spills.

"Like A Dog Biscuit": People Are Sharing The 43 Foods They Bought Off-Brand And Seriously Regretted

Let's be real: most of us are tightening our belts at the grocery store, tossing the cheapest brand into the cart, and hoping for the best. But sometimes, those bargain buys come back to bite us in the booty; if you've ever had off-brand ranch dressing, you understand. Redditor nightreader5 sparked a passionate debate in the r/cooking community with one simple question about groceries: "They say store brand food is just as good as name brand. What are the exceptions?" The responses came flooding in, and they were... brutally honest: 1."Hidden Valley ranch is the ONLY ranch I'll eat." —Responsible_Style314 2."Doritos. The store-brand ones are always awful. If I want Doritos, I only get the name brand." —scornedandhangry 3."Eggo waffles. The store-brand version tastes like roof shingles." —Reus20 4."Pop-tarts. They never get the crust right." —durrtyurr 5."Thomas' English Muffins. The store brands can go to hell on those." —digiriotdev 6."I'll probably get flamed for this, but some store-brand pasta goes from crunchy to complete mush; it feels like there is a two-second window where it's a pleasant texture." —hannahbananahs 7."I'm a sucker for UNnatural peanut butter, and there's nothing like JIF." —navelbabel "Peanut butter. Holy shit, I thought I hated peanut butter growing up. Nope, we just bought the kind made from trash peanuts." —pizzapizzamesohungry 8."Cream cheese, specifically in the brick form (not the spread in the tub). I once tried the Kroger brand instead of my beloved Philadelphia, and the texture and flavors were just way off!" —oracleofwifi 9."Honeymaid Graham crackers or bust." —glittersurprise 10."Butter. At least not when you actually taste the flavor of the butter." —AlleyOKK93 11."Store-brand shredded cheese has zero flavor and too much cornstarch. The extra dollar for Sargento or Tillamook is worth it." —ibashdaily 12."Store-brand refried beans are just not as good as Rosarita's." —NoMoreBeGrieved 13."Oreos!" —Routine_Mechanic6239 "Oreos! The off-brand honestly tastes like a dog biscuit." —candleelit 14."Duke's and Kewpie mayo, depending on what you're using it for. Duke's is for everyday stuff, such as potato salad, tuna, etc. Kewpie for special occasions." —thaiborg 15."Sour cream. Gotta be Daisy." —justlurking246 "For most dairy products, I've found certain brands to be much better quality. For example, Daisy brand sour cream is the only one on the market I can find that is just cream, salt, and cultures." —harrold_potterson 16."Wheat Thins and Triscuits must be name brand." —allthecrazything 17."Jam. Often good, brand-name jam has more fruit and less juice/sugar filler." —LadyOfTheNutTree 18."Ketchup. It's Heinz or nothin'." —Mi_Pasta_Su_Pasta 19."I've yet to find a store-brand soda that isn't trash. Especially the diet varieties." —flutterbylove22 20."The one thing that store brands can never seem to get right is Cheerios... No one seems to have figured out how to replicate the taste and texture of Cheerios. Store-brand 'toasted O's' invariably taste like sawdust and are weirdly stale in texture." "Except Trader Joe's. For some reason, their O's are almost identical to Cheerios. But no one else comes close." —arcticmischief 21."Store brand and cheaper canned whole tomatoes taste like the tin can they came in. Spend the money to get good, imported, preferably organic, San Marzano tomatoes. Makes all the difference." —WhoCalledthePoPo 22."I am incredibly picky about my frozen peas, so frozen petite peas from C&W or nothing — they're the only ones that are sweet and tender, and not grainy/mealy and disgusting." —darktrain 23."Generic-brand Cheez Its. Oh, my goodness. It was like eating little squares made 99% of crispy butter with a little cheese sprinkled in. So, so gross." —nightreader5 24."Oats. My husband thinks I'm crazy for it, but I won't eat the generic oats. There's too much of the 'bottom of the container' pieces — you know, the tiny shavings, as opposed to the whole oats. It has a totally different flavor when you cook it." —JACKiED_Daniels 25."Mac and cheese. If I'm reaching for yellow powder from a box, it is only going to be Kraft." —CurlyRN_ 26."Land O' Lakes American white cheese." —efox02 "American cheese slices. When I want pasteurized cheese products, I don't skimp on flavor. No, but for real... Kraft is the only way to go." —AwarenessVirtual4453 27."I only use Tollhouse chocolate chips for my chocolate chip cookies." —PezGirl-5 "Chocolate chips, as I just found out tonight while using store-brand ones. They took forever to melt and when I compared the ingredient list to the Toll House ones, the store brand ones had soy lecithin." —BeirutJH 28."Fage Greek yogurt ONLY. Every other brand is gloopy and watery?" —This-Cicada-5304 29."Any Worcestershire sauce that isn't Lea & Perrins." —big_data_mike 30."Soda. The off brands do not compare to Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper." —SportyCarpet 31."Premium crackers. Every other brand I've tried tastes stale to me." —coolreg214 32."Fritos corn chips." "With fewer ingredients, smaller packages, and higher prices, I usually have no brand loyalty for most." —cwsjr2323 33."Maille cornichons. Love those little guys. And the juice makes great slaw and Bloody Marys." —andrewsutton 34."Soy sauce. Every store brand I've tried is bitter." —thetinyness 35."I don't mess with generic unsweetened cocoa powder." —CreativeMyxologist 36."I'm a La Croix fan. Store-bought is just not the same." —paperanddoodlesco 37."This is kind of random, but marshmallows. Jet-Puffed is miles better than generic — those have no flavor other than sweet. Jet-Puffed tastes vanilla-y and delicious!" —dontakelife4granted 38."Yellow mustard, only French's, King Arthur. Sugar, Domino's." —theycallmeruby 39."If you eat Stouffer's frozen entrees, like lasagna, Salisbury steak, or the chicken rice casserole, the store brand versions are vastly different, and not in a good way." —anonymouscog 40."Oh my god, cornflakes. We were poor and bought generic cornflakes, they were so thick and just gross. Even though we were struggling, we just couldn't eat generic cornflakes again." —Loud_Statement9491 41."Coca-Cola. Nothing hits like a Coke brand Coke. I don't care about most other sodas, but Coke and Dr. Pepper have to be name brand." —saturnsqsoul 42."A1 Sauce. I don't use it for my steak, but my husband does, and wow... Generic tastes terrible." —elizurofsinai 43."I tried grocery store-brand ginger snaps in, like, 2019. Ginger snaps are not even exclusively a Nabisco brand thing either… just a classic treat. They were awful, the flavor of raw ginger with the texture of cardboard." —petrichorandpuddles Now, it's your turn: What's the name-brand food item that the generic version simply doesn't live up to?
