Eating real food doesn’t have to stop when you’re busy or on the go. I’ve learned that with a little planning, you can enjoy wholesome, nutritious snacks and meals that are easy to pack and take with you wherever you go. Here are some of my favorite portable, real food options that make eating healthy on the move a breeze.
1. Homemade Energy Bars
Instead of reaching for processed granola bars, I make my own with simple ingredients like oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. These homemade bars are packed with healthy fats and fiber, and they keep me energized between meals.
2. Veggie Wraps
I love making wraps using whole grain or lettuce wraps filled with veggies, hummus, and some lean protein like turkey or chicken. They’re easy to pack and customizable, depending on what ingredients I have on hand.
3. Fresh Fruit and Nuts
When I need something quick, I grab an apple or banana and a small handful of raw almonds or walnuts. This combination offers a good mix of carbs, healthy fats, and protein to keep me full and satisfied.
4. Greek Yogurt with Toppings
I pack a small container of plain Greek yogurt and top it with fresh berries, chia seeds, or a drizzle of honey for a filling, nutrient-packed snack.
Eating real food on the go is simple once you have a few easy-to-prepare snacks in your rotation!
