Summer travel is awesome. Being together with loved ones. Traveling to cool places. Frolicking in the sun and surf. 

What's not fun is when you've been in the car, tent or beach just a little too long … and because of all that activity, your hunger hits like a freight train but you're snack-less! Nooooo!

So do a little travel prep and make up these delicious, power-packed snacks for the road or plane trip. You and your crew will be glad you did. (Heads up that for some of these, an ice pack will come in handy.)

Homemade chocolate candy bar

3. Chocolate protein candy bars

The average chocolate candy bar is full of inferior ingredients that aren’t good for you. But what if I told you that you can make a homemade chocolate candy bar and that it’ll be more delicious than anything store-bought? And that it’ll include 11 grams of protein per bar? Believe it.

Carrot cake protein bars
