Hi Sarah, sounds like a fun trip!

I find that having a cooler in the car gives me some great options. I can keep foods like hard boiled eggs, hummus and veggies, greek yogurts, cheese sticks, or leftovers cool for snacks and meals that day. I also like to swing by grocery stores and pick up some ready made items like chicken salad or other prepared foods. Like Kathleen suggested Whole Foods is fantastic with their deli, I find health food stores and co-ops usually have some really fabulous foods that can be eaten there or packed for later.

Other handy travel foods are those brown rice packs that all you need to do is microwave them. Those are great with some store bought rotisserie chicken for a quick meal. Whole grain crackers like oatcakes are another travel staple for me, they are perfect for scooping up tuna or chicken salad.

And a blender bottle plus protein powder, vacuum packed almond milk for shake, and quick oats for my brown is my go to breakfast when traveling.

Great ideas with the potatoes, canned meats and fruits and veggies!
