‘Tis the season of travel! Whether you’re headed home to celebrate the holidays with family or are headed somewhere tropical to escape the winter (take me with you?), you’ll probably be spending extra hours in the airport or in the car. My biggest struggle is with boredom eating while traveling. During road trips I try to pack healthy snacks because I know if I get hungry and the only option is fast food, I’m going to order those french fries.
Well & Good shared “The best healthy travel snacks wellness experts swear by” and I’ve decided to share one of my own, Big Slice. I first discovered these ready-to-eat fruit packets at the airport while loading up for a long flight, and have forever since been a fan. Each pouch is all natural, made with real fruits, gluten and fat free, vegan and the company was started by a guy who inherited the recipe from his Grandma!
I originally tried the Pure flavor (basically just apples) and loved it, it tastes like the inside of an apple pie, minus the guilt. There are 16 flavors my current faves are raspberry hibiscus & green coffee extract and pineapple passion fruit & fiber, plus I can always go for the Pure flavor.
The packets full of intense flavor are all around 100 calories and satisfy my sweet tooth. When traveling they are great right out of the packet and at home I’ve used Big Slice to top latkes and are perfect with yogurt, oatmeal or anything else you want to add a burst of flavor to.
I’m still working my way through all the flavors and will be bringing a few packets along as we head to Maryland over the holidays.
I’d love to help you make travel and snack time a little bit healthier so I’m giving away a sample pack! To enter: leave a comment below with where you’re traveling this holiday season, or if you’re having a staycation! I’ll randomly select a winner on Monday, 12/21 and I’ll send the selected winner 12 pouches, a Big Slice Tumbler, and another special treat (only US entries).
*A big thanks to Big Slice for hooking me up with samples and the giveaway prize!
