Foods Recommended for Travel

The following are suggestions of food to take with you while traveling. Some need to be kept in a cooler, many don't. The individual packets will be acceptable in carry-ons for air travel when they are less than 3 oz. Make sure the brands you buy are gluten-free.

• applesauce - comes in individual tub or squeeze-tube servings.
  
• nuts - Trader Joe's sells bags of individual snack-sized bags of almonds.
  
• dry GF cereal
  
• condiments - www.Minimus.biz sells individual packets of condiments and other items for travel. Be sure they are gluten-free before purchasing.
  
• GF health/snack bars
  
• dried fruit/trail mix - Easy to mix up a trail mix at home of your favorite items (different kinds of plain nuts, shredded coconut, M & M's, chocolate chips, raisins, etc. Trader Joe's also has a few premade ones on their GF list of foods.
  
• nut butters (peanut, almond, etc.) - Good to have with crackers, apples, or celery. Can bring a jar, or now there are companies that also make individual packets (Justin Naturals at Whole Foods).
• rice cakes - The brand Corn Thins crumble less than regular rice cakes.
  
• GF crackers - rice crackers or Nut Thin crackers
