Summer road trips are a fun, budget-friendly way to see the world around you, whether you're alone, with your family, or your best friends. Whether you plan on driving for a few hours or a few days, there's something about being in the car that makes us hungrier. We need a steady supply of great music and yummy snacks as the sustenance to keep us going on the freeway. It's so easy to stock up on candy and doughnuts, and while we love a sweet treat, we're partial to healthier snacks. So, we found 20 snacks, all available on Amazon, that will keep you happy and satisfied.
From healthy chips (yes, they exist), to protein bars and trail mix, these snacks were made for long car rides. You can pick at them for hours on end, or finish the whole bag in about five minutes, whatever floats your boat. We don't judge. This Summer, when you get in the car, you're going to be the most popular passenger if you're prepared with these 20 snacks.
