  • Dried Fruit
  • Pretzels (in a sealed container or bag to avoid getting smashed)
  • Popcorn
  • Dark chocolate
  • Whole grain dry cereal
  • Homemade cookies
  • Water (avoid tap water)
  • Coconut water or Aloe Vera with no added sugars
  • Juice boxes in tetra pack (sterilized that last at room temperature, pick the least sugar ones)
  • Chocolate covered fruit or nuts
  • Apple or fruit chips
  • Rice Cakes or light crackers with light cheese
  • Protein powder in a shaker bottle (add milk or water)
