This is easiest when traveling by car but possible with plane or train travel. Include plenty of small, non-perishable items. If space is a consideration, pack items that would be difficult to find while traveling, such as soymilk, and plan to purchase items at supermarkets and natural foods stores on your trip. Car Travel Snacks help break the monotony of car travel. Popular snacks for the car are those that are not too messy, not likely to cause choking, and do not require refrigeration.
Picnics are a great way to eat when traveling by car.
Sometimes we've been so desperate to get out of the car that we've picnicked in coats, hats, and mittens. If you are packing a picnic, remember safe food handling practices and keep foods like yogurt, soy hot dogs, and pre-made dips and spreads cold. If you're traveling for several days by car and have run out of food, instead of trying to find a restaurant, look for a well-stocked grocery store with a salad bar. You can often find lots of kid-friendly foods like chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and corn at salad bars. If you're lucky, the store will also have bagels or a loaf of whole grain bread.
