Making healthy choices while eating on the go can be tough. Sometimes a bag of Doritos just sounds soooo good. But despite the convenience, prepackaged, nonperishable goodies (and even many homemade snacks) are often packed with sugar, sodium, and other not so great ingredients. Let us help out. Here are 32 of our favorite healthy snacks to grab and go — no refrigeration required.

Fruit and veggie snacks 28. Fruit and dip Many fruits don’t require a refrigerator and taste great with a dip like nut butter. Simply pick a dipper of choice (apples and bananas are always winners), put a few scoops of nut butter in a small Tupperware, and hit the road. Worried about your banana being ripe in time? Speed things up by packing it in a paper bag. 29. Dried fruit Fresh fruit is awesome, but it’d be pretty darn difficult to cut and eat a mango while commuting. Avoid the mess and reap the nutritional benefits by packing dried fruit instead. Just make sure to buy unsweetened, as some store-bought varieties can have up to 25 grams of sugar per serving. Excess sugar consumption can have some not-so-sweet consequences like increased risk of obesity Luger M, et al. (2017). Sugar-sweetened beverages and weight gain in children and adults: A systematic review from 2013 to 2015 and a comparison with previous studies. DOI: 10.1159/000484566 and heart disease. DiNicolantonio JJ, et al. (2016). The evidence for saturated fat and for sugar related to coronary heart disease. DOI: 10.1016/j.pcad.2015.11.006 30. Fresh veggies Carrots, bell pepper, and sugar snap peas are just a few veggies that can be packed as a snack and enjoyed throughout the day. Pro tip: To keep them fresher for longer, store vegetables in a Tupperware instead of a plastic bag. 31. Homemade veggie chips Chips are delicious — there’s no doubt about it. But the packaged kinds aren’t exactly healthy. Making them from scratch, on the other hand, is nutritious and easy. Plus, you can experiment with ingredients (green beans, sweet potato, apple… oh my!) and have control over the amount of sodium and fat in each batch. 32. Vegetable salad rolls Salad is difficult to eat while on the run, but salad wrapped in rice papers is another story. Simply slice your favorite veggies, add a little sauce, wrap them up, and they’re good to go. Not sure where to start? We love this recipe for bite-sized garden veggie salad rolls with allergy-friendly SunButter dressing.
