I like that they are chewy and durable and can, in fact, stay in the car for a long time. My favorites are the Cherry one, and the Apple Pie. Ginger is pretty good too. <br /><br />I'll second the Kind bars! Also Trader joe's has prepackaged handfuls of nuts and dried fruit that helps me have something on hand and not eat all of it at once. If there are only two in the car, I will eat both, but at least I can't also eat the remainder of the bag that is in the kitchen cabinet.

Maybe I will.<br /><br />I like the Fiber One bars - I've been liking the streudel ones lately.<br /><br />Nuts and yogurt are on a constant rotation in my lunch, but I almost never eat them at the barn - too fiddly for me, somehow? I don't do tuna, seafood does not agree with me.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071037752920853786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-73888757145252818752014-10-17T08:48:34.917-04:002014-10-17T08:48:34.917-04:00String cheese, yes!

I love your snack suggestions, and they'd work perfectly for me since barn time immediately follows a long day at work an almost an hour in the car.

Sometimes I add pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds. Rarely do I add dried fruit because the sugar hit bumps my glucose in unhelpful ways. I also get these yummy individually wrapped quinoa choc chip cookies at Costco (shhh re: sugar bumps :).

I also like string cheese, Power Bars, Fiber One bars (they keep coming up with new ones), protein milk (single-serving low fat milk with added protein. Chocolate or vanilla flavored), kefir, Chobani 2% yogurt, nuts that come in the single serving 100 calorie packets, and fat free tuna + cracker snacks. I rotate through these but you can usually find an assortment of these in our pantry/fridge. The yogurt or tuna snacks I'll eat upon arriving at the barn since they are not as easy to eat out of a wrapper while driving as, say, the bars or milk.
