Portable Veggies
- Edamame
Go figure! These boiled soybeans in pods are all the rage -- even celebrities have been seen munching on them. Bags are available in the frozen food section of some supermarkets.
* Before you leave on your trip, microwave 16 ounce bag in 1/4 water in a covered microwave-safe dish on HIGH for about 6-8 minutes. Drain and let them cool in the refrigerator overnight. Just pour them in a zip-lock bag and take them on your road trip (keep chilled if possible). Popping the soybeans from the pod (discard the pods), and eating them, keeps you busy on the road. This keeps you from eating too much too fast (like is the case with cookies and chips) and the soybeans make a nice sustainable (even nutritious) snack. Soybeans do contain some omega-6 fatty acids but they also contain some omega-3s.
1/2 cup of shelled beans (about 1 1/8 cup beans in pods) contains 90 calories, 2 g fat, 0 g saturated fat, 8 g fiber (and 10 grams protein!)
- Baby carrots
Ice cold baby carrots are a refreshing afternoon snack. They are crunchy, taste good, and are easy to eat out of the bag. You can find big or little bags of already-washed baby carrots in the produce section of most supermarkets. Keep them in the ice chest if you can to keep them nice and cold.
10 baby carrots contain 38 calories, 0.5 gram fat, 3.2 grams fiber (and 25% Daily Value for vitamin A, 18% Daily Value for folic acid, and 14% Daily Value for vitamin C)
