You can stay energised and break unhealthy snacking habits by planning ahead and packing healthy snacks for road trips.

Compared to harmful, deep-fried options, fruits are a great alternative for road trip snacking.

Fruits are a healthy and satisfying option for mid-meal snacks since they are high in vitamins (A, C, and K), antioxidants, potassium, and fibre.

Fruits include antioxidants that fight free radicals, slow down ageing, and strengthen immunity.

Fruits include fibre, which facilitates bowel movements, lowers blood sugar spikes, and encourages hydration.

Dr Nirupama Rao, a nutritionist, advocates making healthy substitutions for meals and snacks like whole-grain bread in place of white bread, oatmeal with fresh fruit instead of sugary cereal and avocado or hummus as spreads.

Roasted chickpeas, which are high in protein, fibre, magnesium, folate, and zinc, as well as roasted foxnuts, which are gluten-free, high in calcium, and may be seasoned to taste, are other nutrient-dense options for road trip snacks.
