Great Vegan Travel Foods!

Unfortunately, eating a healthy, clean eating, vegan diet on the go can be very difficult. I'm going to fly up to visit my cousins this weekend, and I went to Whole Foods to buy some travel-friendly healthy snacks.

•Organic Baby Fruit Purée Packs: I know these may seem silly, as they're targeted towards toddlers, but they're a great product. The brand I bought only contains puréed fruit, and is a great option when you can't pack regular fresh fruit

•Organic Dried Fruit, such as dried apples or bananas: If you love chips, these could be great for you. I love them, and the only ingredient there should be is the fruit, nothing else!

•Luna Bars: getting nutrients on the go can be tough, which is where Luna Bars can help you. These are loaded with important vitamins and minerals, such as calcium and iron, as well as fiber and protein. Plus, they're DELICIOUS! My favorites are Vanilla Almond and Iced Oatmeal Raisin

•Larabars: These fruit and nut bars are great, each is raw, vegan, kosher, non gmo, and has no more than 9 ingredients. The flavors are so great, I love the peanut butter and jelly and the cashew cookie!

•Kind Bars: Be kind to your body, with Kind Bars! They're all natural fruit and nut bars, and are absolutely delicious! Some have additional benefits such a extra protein and antioxidants

•That's It Bars: I love these. Each only has two ingredients, fruit. They have two servings of fruit per bar, so they're great if you can't carry fresh fruit with you (see my post on them!)

•Kale Chips: you can make these at home, but I bought them for convenience. These just might cure your crunchy tooth, and chip cravings. Plus, these have around 8 grams of protein per ounce! Not to mention they're made of kale

•Homemade Trail Mix: There are so many reasons to make trail mix at home, as opposed to buying it pre made. First off, it's cheaper. Second, you can portion size it yourself, because trail mix is often over eaten. Third, you can customize it! A serving is about 1/4 cup. Add whatever dried fruit, nuts, and seeds you want!

I hope this helped. What are your favorite nutritious, on the go snacks?
