In the car - try one...
1 Clif, Luna or Larabar
Trail Mix- Try Planters Nutrition Sustaining Energy Mix (pre-packaged in single servings)
1 Jiff to-go container of PB or Justin's to-go container of almond butter with graham crackers

At home - try one...
1 PBJ or any other type of nut butter
Cereal and milk: Try Life cereal or cheerios; use non-/low-fat milk
Cottage cheese and fresh fruit


If you have 15-30 minutes to spare:

In the car - try one...
2 handfuls of raisins or other dried fruit
2 handfuls Teddy Grahams
1 package Nature Valley crunchy granola bar
