FOOD

Are you planning a road trip up the coast to visit Red Wood National Park or perhaps heading across the desert to explore Texas? Wherever you roam, you need to feed your gas tank and your tummy. What snacks and meals should you pack so you can keep rolling?

Eat the Goodies You Keep in Your Glove Box

Remember the box of granola or energy bars you popped in one of the cubbies in your SUV? This is a great opportunity to gobble them up before you drive past the “Best By” date. Little bags of trail mix or dried fruit give you a good source of energy without making a big mess.

Visit the Farm Stand

It is a challenge to stick to your diet when on the road. However, you can keep fresh fruits and veggies in your diet when you take advantage of local farm stands. Eat apples, peaches, oranges, and cheeses without the need for cutting boards and Tupperware.

If you pilot the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, keep them fresh all week in your console cooler.

Treat Yourself to Celebrate Your Adventure

What would a road trip be like without a few indulgences? Stock up on your favorite chips, crackers, and candy before you leave with a stop at your favorite corner store. If you are heading east, swing by Shelee’s in Coachella and discover aisles and aisles of snackables.

If the kids are with you, let everyone choose their own special nibble to share.

Be Polite: Save the Tuna and Egg Salad for Home

There is a limit to what you should pack for consumption in the car, especially if you are sharing the ride. There is no need to introduce foods with strong odors like fish, heavily spiced dishes, or ones that have smelly aftereffects.

Save the supersized burrito and beans dinner for your evening meal so you can retire to your own hotel room afterward.

Trash In: Trash Out

Perhaps the biggest problem that comes with eating on the road is the pile of cups, wrappers, cans, crumbs, and napkins that accumulate after a single day. Consider picking up a mini trash can or bag that attaches to the back of the driver’s seat. Fill it with litter as you eat and empty it at every gas station.

Maybe your Honda Odyssey comes loaded with an onboard vacuum! Use it when you park for the evening, so you start the next day clear of clutter. For those rides without that feature, make a stop at a car wash or pack a minivac that plugs into your 120-volt outlet.

Need a Roomier Ride for Your Road Trip?

Is it time to expand into a 3-row SUV like the Chevrolet Traverse or the Ford Expedition to make your vacation more comfortable for the entire crew? Find room for your luggage and your coolers when you take a new ride out for a test drive at Beach Boulevard of Cars in Huntington Beach today.
