When you are on the road, you will need to refuel both your car and yourself at some point. And fortunately, finding healthy food at a gas station convenience store doesn’t have to be difficult. There are a few key items to search for that will make your road trip meals both healthy and tasty. Tri-Mart BP in Tripoli, WI, lists a few delicious options.

How to Eat Healthy at a Gas Station Convenience Store

1. Apples & Peanut Butter

One of the easiest and healthiest snacks to grab at a gas station that also packs a protein and fiber punch is the classic apples and peanut butter combo. Most convenience stores have small jars or packets of peanut butter as well as whole apples or pre-sliced options. You can even add whole-grain crackers or bread for a complete, satisfying meal.

2. Jerky & Trail Mix

Even though it is a processed food, beef jerky is a good option for a protein boost. Choose low-sodium varieties, and pair them with fresh fruit, cheese sticks, or trail mix. For trail mix, choose packages that are full of almonds, cashews, and other healthy nuts and dried fruit and do not have an overload of candy or other sugary treats.

3. Hummus & Guacamole

Hummus and guacamole are two healthy dip options that will satisfy your hunger while you drive. Hummus is made from chickpeas, and guacamole’s main ingredient is avocado. Both provide good fats and other quality nutrients to stave off hunger. Choose pretzels, whole-grain crackers, or pre-packaged veggie sticks for dipping.

4. Yogurt, Fruit, & Nuts 

Regular or Greek yogurt low in sugar is the perfect container for fruit slices, dried fruit, or nuts. You can even break up a granola bar and make your own delectable yogurt parfait. The combination is a great source of calcium, protein, and healthy fiber. Add a banana to the mix for extra potassium.

5. Tuna Sandwich & Salad

Most gas station convenience stores have a selection of condiments that can be combined with a can of tuna to make a salad or sandwich. Place it on whole-grain crackers or whole wheat bread, and wash it all down with a big bottle of water.
