Roadside eateries can be unhygienic, costly and unreliable. But don't let that hinder your trip. Carry these nutritious snacks and travel smart!
Travel buffs should take a leaf out of the Indian mothers’ method. No matter how short or long the journey, they always carry ample food and water with them – enough for their family and even some fellow passengers.
(If you have ever travelled on an Indian train, you know what I mean.)
Yes, it makes luggage a bit heavier, but it saves the wallet and saves everyone from unhealthy choices while you discover a new place.
You can’t always trust every eatery to serve hygienic food. It’s best to have some tasty and healthy snacks for whenever you need them.
So, if you are planning your next backpacking trip or travelling for leisure, here are some healthy and pocket-friendly suggestions.
1. Savoury snacks for those small hunger pangs when you travel
Let’s be real. The focus of the long hours during a journey is usually food. The chips and snacks you get on stations are tempting. But they are quite unhealthy.
Carry these nutritious snacks with you instead and enjoy them guilt-free.
From low-carb biscuits to ragi chips, these snacks are your best travel buds.
