You can easily pick them up along the way and they provide quick and easy snackability (that\u2019s our new word). It\u2019s the American way to shove your face with all sorts of chips, candies, and all sorts of other junk food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somewhere along the way, Americans got the impression that snacking was synonymous with junk food. A snack is a miniature meal, but it can often turn into a full on pig-out session, polishing off an entire bag of chips in minutes. People don\u2019t consider snacks to be miniature meals, though, and therein lies the problem. A snack should be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/5-healthy-snacks-with-150-calories-or-less\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a quick bite that offers nourishment<\/a>, yet most people fail to make calculated decisions when it comes to snacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a long road trip, it\u2019s not uncommon to find crumbs, chips, or sticky sweets in those hard-to-reach places of the car, especially if children were in there. The reason people choose those snacking options is because they are quick and easy. Ideally, everyone would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/prep-these-healthy-snacks-to-succeed-on-the-cleanse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spend days prepping healthy snacks<\/a> for the road trip, but hectic schedules can make this difficult. It doesn\u2019t have to be difficult, especially when the snacks are easy to make.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should Healthy Snacks Contain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The holy trinity of snacking nutrients include complex carbohydrates, fiber, and protein. Together, these nutrients help to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/energy-formula-p-26.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">provide the body with energy<\/a> and sustenance, which keeps you feeling full. It\u2019s that sustenance that keeps you from going back for more. Chips, for example, offer little to no nutrients, so you can eat the entire bag and still feel hungry. Then you end up with a tummy ache somewhere along your drive. There\u2019s no need to ruin drive time by plaguing your digestive system. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next time you hit the road, prepare the following snacks. You can thank us later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Quick And Easy Date Bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/date-pumpkin-seed-bars.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/date-pumpkin-seed-bars.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/date-pumpkin-seed-bars-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/date-pumpkin-seed-bars-520x245.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The great thing about these raw vegan date bars is that they only contain three simple ingredients!
