Best vegan road trip snacks, according to a new nationwide survey

A nationwide survey revealed that chips, chocolate, cookies, nuts, and seeds are the most-grabbed road-trip snacks, but many popular options are already vegan or easily made so. Some top vegan road trip snacks include plain chips, nuts and seeds, DIY trail mix, granola bars, fresh fruit, rice cakes with nut butter, hummus with veggie dippers, sunflower seeds, vegan candy, and homemade energy bites.

To ensure a successful vegan road trip snack selection, it is important to balance salty and sweet options, pack proteins alongside quick carbs, and respect hydration. Organizing and rotating your stash, using mini coolers, minding the melt factor, and stocking spare napkins can help keep your snacks safe, tasty, and within arm’s reach. And by making thoughtful snack choices that align with your values and provide sustained energy, your snack bag can become an essential part of a successful and enjoyable road trip adventure.
