Suggestions for an upcoming road trip
At the end of July a girl friend and I are driving from Ottawa to Amherst, NS (approximately 16 hours). We're going to drive straight through and want to put together a good collection of bariatric friendly "road food". She's 7+ years post-op and trying hard to lose some significant regain so we're both on the same page, food-wise.
Right now, the only thing we can come up with is some tortilla roll-up (using the Mama Lupe low-carb, high protein wraps and some extra lean deli meats), and some nuts. The food has to be able to be eaten WHILE driving (we ain't stopping for nothing but potty breaks and to pick up fresh drinks). We know the urge to nibble what driving is high, so we want some really good, healthy, options.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Take a cooler with you, then you can add refrigerated stuff. Here are some snack suggestions:
Cheese Strings/Babybelle; turkey pepperettes, pre-cut veggies, cleaned up fruit, raisons, beef/turkey jerky, nuts, protein bar.
Yogurt for the non driver.
I might be able to think of more later, but it's a start.

A cooler is a good idea, but why not check out Eggface's Bento box lunches. She has great ideas for bariatric friendly snacks, lunches, etc.

I noticed Walmart grocery had a good selection of protini's the last time I was in there. They were like mini lunchables like the kids have (and they were sold in the same section of the cooler), but they were just protein-based containers. http://www.protinis.ca/en/product.html
