Hopefully you will have a small cooler....
In the produce section you can get packages of precut fruit such as pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew...the list goes on and on.
Snack Mix
2 cups mixed nuts
2 cups dried fruits
1/2 cup chocolate chips
String Cheese
Sliced Deli Meat
Oven Baked Pita Chips
Bottled Water
Bottled Tea
not a vegtable type person???
carrots are great
especially the baby ones
Fresh fruit seems like the best type of snack otherwise you'll consume too many calories. Bananas and grapes hold up well. ;)
What about Dried Fruit? You can make a yummy trail road mix with the sesame sticks and dried fruit...rasins, dried banana's, dried apricots, peanuts, mmm...that's sounds yummy to me!!
-Dried fruit chips
-Granola bars
-Home made Chex mix (mix together Chex cereal, some pretzels, some raisins, goldfish crackers, and dried fruit)
-Crackers and peanut butter
The great thing about those suggestions is that none of it has to be refrigerated. Just pack it in some zippy bags or some plastic containers and you're good to go. Have fun!
