Trail mix: This is an easy-to-make snacking option which you can store in an air-tight container while on the move. Combine raw nuts and seeds, and dried cranberries for a basic trail mix. Give it a glint of sweetness with dark chocolate chips, or if you want something with both crunch and spice, try adding wasabi peas. And don't forget the trail mix classic: raisins and peanuts. Change that up a bit, by mixing 2 tablespoons of dried cranberries and 1 tablespoon of peanuts and you have a single-serving, 100-calorie snack! (Source: Thinkstock Images)

Yogurt with Granola bars: Crumble granola bars into a yogurt cup for a sweet and crunchy snack. Travel with pre-packaged bars and yogurt cups to combine together the goodness of both, while on the go. Overall, this is an easily portable and healthy snacking option, which is effective for controlling your sweet cravings while on the go. (Source: Thinkstock Images)
