The best healthy travel snacks

Whether you’re hitting the road, railways, or the skies, travel can take you long stretches between meals and a healthy snack can help nourish you and satisfy hunger between stops.  I spoke to NBC Better in this piece that features nutritionist-approved picks for travel snacks.

Maya Feller, RDN, who has a private practice in Brooklyn and a cookbook forthcoming this fall, shares a similar strategy. “In general, I do my best to have a balanced meal when I travel — either purchased before arriving at the airport or brought from home. My favorite travel snacks are always paired with a large bottle of water. I’m big on water simply because airplane travel is so dehydrating. Mixed raw unsalted nuts and fresh fruit are a usual go-to of mine. The nuts are a nice combination of satiating protein and fiber that do an effective job of bridging the gap between meals without additives. Simple and straight forward,” she says. (And remember if you’re traveling on a plane, fill up your water bottle after you make it through security.)
