Top 5 Favorite Roadtrip Foods.

When we are on a long road trip we try not to eat out, it is the second best way for us to conserve money when we are on the road. Lots of times that means eating at rest stops or gas station parking lots when we need a break. These are quick, easy to make, foods that can be used as a base meal. Also to make these you will need to be able to heat water or have access to gas station hot water (that they'd put out for tea).

Our #1 favorite roadtrip food is... Kodiak Cakes Maple&Brown Sugar Oatmeal which has 14g of protein and comes in a nifty paper cup that you just add hot water to.

extras: add granola, berries, or cream.

#2 is Top Ramen in a bowl! So easy and just have to boil water and pour.

extras: boil an egg when you're heating your water and peel it and add it into your soup.

#3 is Canned Fish and Crackers. For Gunnar that means smoked Salmon and for me, kippered Herring. I absolutely love kipper snacks, I top with mustard and these are a staple for me.

extras: slice up some cheese or add some mustard to the kipper snacks.

#4 is Knorr Rice Sides Chicken Rice. This is definitely not an all the time meal but a really delicious side after hours on the road.

extras: we like to scoop with doritos :)

anddd #5 is Idahoan flavored mashed potatoes. Another satisfying fill after a long day.

extras: we scoop these with doritos too.
