5 Best Travel Snacks (Healthy and Macro Friendly!)
Lots of people stress about what to eat when traveling. It can be hard to find healthy food when you are away from home.
So many of the snacks offered to us are full of sugar, preservatives, and unhealthy oils.
By bringing our own homemade snacks with us we can have better control of our macros and our results!
There are so many excellent snack ideas in our cookbooks like the Eat Clean Live Lean Cookbook, The Fearless Foodie Cookbook and the Live Lean 20 Diet. We also have a huge database of recipe videos showing you step by step directions in our member’s site Team Live Lean. Here in this video I’m going to share with you my top 5 snacks I like to travel with as well as how to put them together and what the macros and calorie counts look like.
I’ll also share with your the nutrition breakdown for the serving sizes I’m showing in the video using our Meal Planner Software that you can purchase here: LiveLeanTV.com/Meal-planner-software
Let’s get to making these snacks!
Apple Slices & AB
Ingredients:
- 160g (1 whole) apple
- 30g (2 Tbsp) Almond Butter
Directions:
- Slice the apple and remove the core.
- Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice to preserve the apples freshness and prevent browning.
- Place apple slices into a ziploc bag.
- Scoop 2 Tablespoons of Almond butter into a small container with a lid.
Done! Pack it in your bag to go!
Note: I’d recommend eating this within 3-5 hours so the apple is at it’s freshest, if it will be longer than that, leave the apple unsliced and bring a plastic knife with you to slice it later when you’re ready to eat.

Note: If you want to reheat these later you can place on a frying pan and heat each side for about 30-45 seconds, or you can just eat them room temp or cold. If you won’t be eating them for longer than 2-3 hours I suggest refrigerating them.
