Simple Gluten-Free Travel Snacks

We had two quick day trips this week. Of course, one of the first questions I ask myself before any trip is, “What are we going to take for snacks?”

 

Many times, we do take premade snacks but this week, we took a lot of fresh food and some homemade goodies.

 

Packing simple gluten-free foods ahead of time helps us avoid last-minute stress, keeps everyone feeling better, and saves money while traveling.

 

First Trip

 

For our first trip, we packed:

• • sliced cheese
  • mandarin oranges
  • Snack Factory gluten-free pretzel crisps
  • homemade gluten-free bread with peanut butter
  • Kettle Brand Air Fried Chips
  • water bottles

Second Trip

 

For our second travel day, I made a delicious gluten-free pita bread using a recipe from the Loopy Wisk. My favorite way to make the pita bread is in the iron skillet. It is delicious and a family favorite. It is a recipe that every member of our family will eat. It paired perfectly with homemade red pepper hummus and made such an easy travel lunch.

We also packed:

• • apple slices
  • cucumbers
  • sweet peppers
  • oranges
  • grapesWe also tucked in a few gluten-free cookies from Siete, which always feel like a fun travel treat. I often find these on sale at our local grocery.

I placed the fruits and vegetables into a charcuterie snack box, which honestly makes snacks feel much more fun for the family. It also holds enough fruit and vegetables for our large family.

 

Travel days do not have to mean expensive convenience foods or going hungry while trying to find gluten-free options on the road. A little preparation ahead of time can make traveling so much easier.
