Great Snacks To Take Everywhere

It is late and you are on your way home, but there is no open store to get something to eat – does this scenario sound familiar? 

Or it’s maybe early in the morning and you just pulled an all-nighter and you can hear your stomach making noises… Or you may be out in the middle of the street after your work and you forget to eat, and you are starting to feel dizzy. 

Is this something that you can relate to? If yes, you know that you need to think about your diet. 

It is easy to forget to eat when you have a busy day, especially when you are on the run with no store or restaurant around. 

This is why strategic snacking should be part of your daily routine. If anything, you should think of snacks as something that literally saves your life when you are super hungry. 

Let’s see how you can also have a delicious and easy-to-carry snack with you no matter the time of the year.

Drink Your Snack

Snacks should be healthy. 

Yes, this may be easier said than done, but with so many options on the market, you can actually have a healthy snack

For example, you don’t have to buy industrial pretzels if you can carry an apple with you, right? 

Still, if even bringing an apple puts you under a lot of stress, you should think about an even easier solution, such as a drinkable yogurt: this sort of snack is a great source of lean protein, usually packed with vitamins and minerals such as calcium and vitamin D, packed with numerous flavors from banana to peach. 

The great thing about drinkable yogurt is that you can mix it with other ingredients such as oats or use it as a dressing for your fruit salad. Fast and healthy!

Cheese And Whole-grain Crackers

Cheese and whole-grain crackers are a great snack idea if you want something that is easy to pack but enables bigger bites. 

This is something that you can bite throughout the day and even use as an addition to a salad. 

Spread cheese across crackers and you will have a quick snack in no time. 

Beef Jerky

You cannot pull an entire day without meat? If so, you should plan ahead and think about having a meaty snack on you, such as beef jerky. 

This is something that is a mandatory part of every road trip, but it can serve while you are at work as well. 

Beef jerky is packed with protein, and as such, it is one of the best food items to keep your hunger under control. 

If possible, choose organic, and grass-fed beef jerky from a local store, and avoid shopping for beef jerky from the gas station. 

Did you know there are even tasty vegetarian jerky options?

You’ve got many snack choices to choose from once you start dealing with preparation. 

In no time, you will discover that there are many food items that you can carry with you easily, throughout the day and eat as you go. 

A little prep will be needed, but it’s nothing you won’t be able to handle.

Rising Cost Of European Airline Snacks And Drinks

German budget carrier Eurowings will now charge economy passengers for snacks and drinks on board its flights, the travel platform fromAtoB conducted research into the costs of food and drinks on different airlines.

• Ryanair charges more than other airlines for soft drinks and chocolate

• Ryanair and EasyJet menus relatively expensive

• German airlines offer the cheapest beer and best overall value for money

• Eurowings joins the majority of low-cost airlines, which now charge for snacks and beverages

Berlin, June 2019. None of us are keen to fork out for snacks and drinks on budget airlines, but since we are forced to dispose of liquids before going through security, we are often left with no choice. Travel platform fromAtoB compared the current prices for drinks and snacks in ten European low-cost airlines to see which are the worst offenders.

Water is often the first thing passengers need, and the price of this basic necessity can vary widely. EasyJet, TUIfly, and Wizzair all charge €2.50 for a 500ml bottle of water, while Ryanair and Pegasus charge €3. [One euro at time of publishing = $1.50 Canadian dollar]

Soft drinks also cost anywhere between €2.50 and €3 for varying sizes. The price per litre varies significantly between airlines. While TUIfly charges €6, Ryanair and Eurowings ask for €10. 

German airlines offer the cheapest beer

As is fitting for a country known for its beer, flights to and from Germany offer the best value, with a 330ml can costing just €3 with Eurowings and TUIfly. EasyJet makes passengers dig a little deeper into their pockets, charging twice as much, while a beer on a Ryanair flight will set passengers back €5.50.

Food for thought

The cost of a sandwich also varies significantly. The East European carrier Wizzair offers the cheapest options for just €4, while Eurowings passengers can expect to pay €5 for a chicken roll. Both Norwegian and Spanish airline Vueling charge €6.50 for a club sandwich.

TUIfly: best value overall

Almost all airlines offer a combined menu that often includes a sandwich, drink, and snack. A Wizzair meal deal costs between €6 and €8.50, while a meal alone with Norwegian costs €8.

TUIfly offers the best overall value for money, with all items on the menu totalling €35.84, compared the Norwegian menu which totals €52.09, and Easyjet at €50.
