Some of you may know that one of my hustles is driving for Lyft, which I actually enjoy quite a bit. I have met some really awesome people and had some very enlightening conversations with people from all over the world. Sometimes I drive really long hours, 8 plus. And of course driving that long, I have to have snacks to keep my energy up and sometimes to keep me occupied and awake. So my snacks change all the time, but as of right now, these are my favorite go to snacks.
Because I am an avid shopper at the Asian grocery stores in my area, I am always finding new foods to try out that I have never even imagine. One of these would be dried or dehydrated sweet potatoes. Now sweet potatoes is one of my top favorite foods and to have it in a dehydrated form, I wasn’t to sure about. But I found this Asian brand and the only ingredient is sweet potatoes.
That is important to note because I found some other brands that had preservatives and such in them.
Of course when I find something I really like, it seems everyone around here stopped selling it, so I found another brand which ingredients are sweet potatoes and honey;
although a bit sweeter than first brand, it is still very tasty.
These dehydrated veggies are not only good, but they are good for you, loaded with lots of vitamins and minerals, and they last along time.
Another snack I have really been favoriting is Pocky, Chocolate Almond Crush flavor.
These little yummy are dangerous, because I find myself not being able to eat just two or three. This box comes with two plastic packs inside with 6 stick per pack. They are like a cookie or biscuit that is dipped in milk chocolate and real crushed almonds. So very good. When I can not find this brand, I also get the Pepero brand which is a Korean brand.
Same exact thing just made in a different country, and still tastes just as good.
Next is another Asian favorite of mine and it is Sangaria natural flavor Ramu, grape flavor.
This is just a grape soda made with real sugar and natural flavor. Definitely taste the difference between this and grape Fanta or Crush.
Again I love sweet potatoes, so when I found this at my local Grocery Outlet, I was eager to try them.
Simple and addictive, these sweet potato crisp are light and easy to eat a lot of. They have a very authentic sweet potato taste with a hint of salt. Additionally, If you have ever eaten Quaker brand rice cakes and liked them, that is what these are, but very very thin.
The last snack food that I have been keeping with me while driving are these Good Health Veggie Chips that I found at Dollar Tree.
At first, they didn’t have much flavor, but that is because they are not extremely salty, just very lightly salted. These chips have tomatoes, spinach, beets, broccoli and carrots in them, not that they have a strong flavor. Might be a good way to sneak some veggies in your kids diet.
Overall, I try to eat healthy while I am driving because there are so many options and opportunities for me to eat not so healthy and sometimes I do partake in the unhealthy habits. However, I find that as long as I keep healthy options on my person, I am a lot less likely to do so.
In the comments, let me know some of your favorite snack you are eating right now!!!
Until, next time; Remember to Cook, Eat and Enjoy!
