If no one has a peanut allergy. Make peanut butter sandwiches. Use a full loaf of bread and repack it. No jelly, too messy, soaks thru. A loaf of peanut butter sandwiches is ok for several days if temps aren't extreme.

Short anecdote -- early on, we really couldn't afford eating "out" a full meal on the few road trips to relatives and we'd pack sandwiches and drinks for the family. But DH would pull into a convenience store before we got on the road and everyone could pick "one" treat. The kids got creative and one would pick salty and the other sweet and share/trade. It was sooooo cute.

To this day, he'll get me a bag of Sun Chips before a trip (because I never got anything different)! Next trip? In just a few weeks to see oldest DC at college!!

Do you think it's easy to find your preferred flavor of Sun Chips? I like the plain kind on road trips, and it always feels like gas stations have everything but the plain ones. I wonder if people who like the flavored ones are muttering about how there only seem to be plain ones.

no, it’s getting harder and harder to find the “green” bag. 😔

I always bring fruit on road trips. Something more delicate for morning (blueberries, cherries) and something heartier for hours 5-10 or after we get there (clementines, apples). Bananas in a pinch or if we're on the road to purchase, beacuse they're almost always available at Starbucks or larger gas stations. Helps balance the road food, which is usually not very healthy.

We tend to stop at Jimmy Johns (everyone likes this but mostly me and my son) or Arby's (DH) or even McDonalds (if we're uninspired). Frozen cokes and coffees too. If we're sitting to eat often Chipotle.

Snacks we buy on the way? Nerds gummy clusters, skittles, swedish fish (prefer sour patch but they make a MESS in the car), chex mix, bbq chips for my kid, and various sodas/red bulls/iced teas. I sometimes get a cheese stick.

I used to eat a lot more chips but I have been eating much cleaner and honestly they give me heartburn now.
