I am traveling this weekend and I don’t want to be tempted to eat Cinnabon at the airport. My two-hour flight usually turns into six hours of waiting with layovers. I always get hungry and healthy options are usually very limited overpriced at the airport.
To save money and stay healthy I came up with some healthy snacks to stash in the carry-on.
· Water: Buy it after the security checkpoint to take onboard. Dehydration can cause or exacerbate hunger, jet lag, and fatigue.
· Cereal: Kashi or Cheerios are both portable, low-calorie choices.
· Beef jerky: Especially if you're a low-carb fan!
· Fruit: Apples, pears, and grapes are durable, and almost any other fruit can be stored in a container.
· Rice cakes: Be selective, since calorie and fat content vary widely.
· Energy bars: Although they tend to be high in calories and fat, they are generally better than a slice of pizza or a candy bar at the airport.
· Sandwiches: Pre-cut them into portion-controlled sections so you can pull them out at different times during the trip without making a mess. Chicken, turkey, cold cuts and cheese are all great options for sandwiches on the go.
· Soy chips: These are yet another portable, low-cal, high-fiber snack.
The next time you travel try bringing some of these yummy snacks! Make sure to check with the Transportation Security Administration for the latest in-flight rules on bringing food and water.
