Summer is travel season, but a vacay doesn’t mean you have to forget all your healthy habits! I just got back from a beach trip where I enjoyed the foods I really love, while making sure I balanced it out with healthy choices. My biggest tip for keeping it clean on vacation is to kick off the trip with healthy snacks. When I make smart choices from the start, I find that it’s easier to keep it going. Check out my favorite healthy travel snacks below.
Apple & Almond Butter
– This is my favorite snack. I love Justin’s grab and go packets of almond butter so there’s no mess!
Pretzels & Hummus
– Super easy. Super yummy. Sabra has one that comes together!
Carrots, Cucumbers & Cheese
– The cheese adds some protein to the healthy veggies keeping you fuller longer.
Larabar
– These bars have far less ingredients than many other grab and go snacks. I love the peanut butter jelly.
Water, Water, Water
– This is good advice always, but especially important when you’re traveling. Water keeps you hydrated, while also keeping cravings at bay.

I’m so excited for today’s video! Before starting any new school year, I was totally scared. So many things ran through my mind. Trust me and watch the video. I share how my first day of high school went… eek. I was nervous about making friends, doing well in school, worried about what I looked like. I needed a big sister to ask all my first day questions to, which is why I’m introducing the Prep Series. Join me this summer and learn how to survive middle school, high school and college!
