Commute-Friendly Snacks to Satisfy Any Craving

If you’re like many Americans, a long commute is part of your every day reality. Check out these commute-friendly snacks from gas stations that are sure to satisfy any craving.

Sparkling Water

When you’re looking to hydrate, but also want bubbles. Sparkling water with no added sugar is a great alternative to soda or sweetened beverages.

Roasted Chickpeas

For when you’re really hungry and not afraid to get your hands dirty (napkins required). Biena roasted chickpeas have fiber plus protein which is sure to satisfy your hunger.

Fruit Bar

For when you’re craving fruit, but the fruit in the gas station is bruised and soft. Simple fruit bars like That’s It bars are sweet without added sugar. Choose the variety where fruit is the only ingredient.

Fig Bar

For when you’re craving sweets without chocolate. Bonus points if there’s whole grains involved like in these Nature’s Bakery bars.

Nuts and Fruit

For when you’re looking for a healthier crunch with a touch of sweetness. Fruit and nuts like Sahale are the perfect solution with one serving per bag and the ideal ratio of nuts to dried fruit.

Protein Bar

For when you’re really hungry and are in need of a quick source of protein. Protein bars like EPIC or RX Bars use egg whites for protein and boost sweetness with dates, not syrup.

Chocolate Milk

For when you want to drink something sweet that isn’t soda. Chocolate milk (dairy or non-dairy) can quickly satisfy a sweet tooth and add protein in some cases (dairy milk, soy milk, pea milk). Almond milk isn’t a good source of protein, but the chocolate still satisfies.

Peanut Butter Cups

For when you’re craving chocolate - eat chocolate! ANEW Well is a little partial to the chocolate and peanut butter combo, but you do you and get what you’re craving.
