Many of us are planning summer getaways.

How will you travel and eat safely?

Do you plan on packing snacks, stopping at vending machines or drive-thrus?

Here are some healthy snacks that are cost-friendly, and will reduce your risk of exposure to corona virus.

• Yogurt parfait with wild blueberries

• No-bake energy bites

• Fruit with squeezable nut butter

• Popcorn

• Prepackaged portions of mixed nuts, jerky and dried fruits like prunes and raisins

• Applesauce cups

• Vegetable paper rice rolls (https://www.littlebroken.com/vegetable-rice-paper-rolls/)

• Calorie-free flavored seltzer is a good beverage choice and a great replacement for soda. But, make sure to still drink water to stay hydrated. I personally like CORE, Smartwater or FIJI water.

Even though not entirely healthy, prepackaged mini bags of chips, and some chocolate were a huge help, on my family’s recent road trip.

What are your summer snack plans?
