Aside from some sunscreen, a swimsuit, and sandals, healthy snacks [1] are probably the single most important thing you need for a road trip this Summer [2]. Sure, you could stock up at some random gas station along your route, but you'll inevitably end up choosing between chips, hot dogs, or jelly beans. Instead of rolling the dice and dealing with that underwhelming selection, plan ahead and pack your car with a variety of healthy snacks before you head out.
These 15 snacks run the gamut from plant-based to low-carb [3], but they all have one important thing in common — you can have them delivered straight to your doorstep with Amazon [4].
