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...

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!)
