Having emergency snacks on hand when you travel is KEY, especially during the hectic holiday season! Check out our favorites, and don't leave home without some...   
FRUIT (Fresh and Freeze-Dried)

Look for fresh fruit that's firm and not too juicy (so it won't get squished in your bag or be messy to eat!), and choose ones that don't require a lot of complicated peeling or deseeding. Then pack your produce pal in a small sealable baggie -- that way you can easily store the core or peel if you can't get to a trashcan right away. Here are some of our favorites now...



Apples (Fujis ROCK!) and Pears
1 medium apple or pear = 95 calories, <0.5g fat, 2mg sodium, 25g carbs, 4 - 5g fiber, 16 - 19g sugars, 0.5g protein -- POINTSŪ value 1*

Bananas
1 medium banana = 105 calories, <0.5g fat, 1mg sodium, 27g carbs, 3g fiber, 14g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTSŪ value 2*


Freeze-dried fruit is fantastic because it won't go bad for a looooong time. Plus, it's perfect for a crunchy fix while in transit. (P.S. This stuff weighs very little, so while the serving sizes SEEM small, they're really NOT!)
