When you’re out and about, it’s tempting to grab convenient options, but many traditional snacks are packed with added sugars, preservatives, and empty calories. The good news? You can enjoy clean, better-for-you snacks that are just as easy to take on the road (and way more nourishing).

Here are a few simple swaps to help you stay fueled:

  • Instead of sugary granola bars → try freeze-dried fruit crisps

  • Instead of salty chips → go for crunchy freeze-dried goji berries, or if you want something more chewy, you can pack some delicious organic dried mango cheeks.

  • Instead of bottled smoothies → pack smoothie powder packets you can mix fresh
