Whether you’re short on time or gearing up for a road trip or hike, these easy vegan meals and snacks will keep you energized.
Quick Snacks and Handy Travel Foods
- Hummus with veggies, chips, or pretzels. Most airports in the United States have convenience stores that sell small tubs of hummus with pretzels in the refrigerator cases.
- Tofurky Deli Slices sandwich with mustard or vegan mayo. I usually fly cross-country with two Tofurky sandwiches because you never know what might be available in airports or on planes.
- Many coffee shops, including Starbucks, sell oatmeal which can be a great breakfast option when traveling by car or plane.
- Trail Mix of nuts and dried fruit. In the United States, Trader Joe’s sells a wide variety of relatively inexpensive nuts and dried fruit.
- Energy bars like Lärabar or Clif Bars. Clif Builder Bars are very high in protein (20 g).
- Vegan jerky.
- Popcorn with nutritional yeast to give it a cheesy flavor.
- Vegan cheese and pepperoni on crackers.
- Celery sticks stuffed with peanut butter and raisins.
- Corn chips with guacamole and salsa.
- Dates stuffed with almond or peanut butter.
- Apple with peanut butter. These taste surprisingly close to caramel apples.
- Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Some prefer dill, others choose sweet pickles. One of our staff members insisted we include this option. Where do you stand on peanut butter and pickle sammies?
