J and I are heading out on the road trip from San Francisco, CA to Boulder, CO today, and here are some snacks I got for us for our 3 days on the road.
Now, to note, my mom starts to come out in me whenever planning for food comes into play. Those of you with Filipino moms know exactly what I'm talking about. We'll buy enough food to feed 4 people for 5 days, even though the reality is 2 people for 3 days. I also shop at Whole Foods, and boy do I ever have to restrain myself there because I can easily go hog wild.
First up we have some heavier snacks which technically could also be lunch food.
- Regular hummus from the cold foods bar. To make the hummus interesting, I also got some Peppadew Peppers, pureed them in the mini food processor and mixed it in the hummus to give it a pinch of sweet heat.
- Barley, kale, garbanzo beans, and red pepper salad mixed with some olive oil, garlic, onion, salt & pepper.
- Chunks of grilled chicken from the salad bar.
- Red seedless grapes
Next we have some dried fruits and nuts
- Dried Turkish Apricots
- Green Chile Pistachios
- Whole Foods 365 brand Organic Banana Chips (in a bag)
For crunchy and sweets
- Baked Brown Rice Snaps - Vegetable flavored by Edward & Sons
- Chocolate Chip Cookies by Dr. Lucy's. These cookies have no peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, or gluten.
- Organic Watermelon flavored Moons Chews by Luna Sport. I got these because I was intrigued by the "Energy Chews" on the packaging.
And lastly for drinks:
- Bottled water
- Whole Foods 365 Organic Lemonade packaged in those 6.75 oz boxes.
- Few bottles of Organic Honest Tea in various flavors
- Few bottles of Sweet Leaf Tea in Mint & Honey and Mango. There was a sale 4 for $2.99. I love these Sweet Leaf teas. I could drink this stuff all day long.
J brought some goodies too, but I haven't seen them yet, but will update ya'll later. Between the two of us, I think we got some pretty tasty things to nosh on.
