The Best Healthy Vegan Travel Snacks (Recipes, Tips & More!)

The best vegan snacks for traveling, including make-ahead no bake snacks, healthy homemade cookies, the best fruits, ready-made vegan snacks and more vegan travel snacks!

Pickings are pretty slim when it comes to dining options at most airports, train stations and bus depots. Your options get even more limited if you’re trying to find something healthy and vegan to eat–and that’s assuming that you even have time and aren’t running around like a crazy person to make your connection.

And that is where travel snacks come in. Rather than spend 20 precious minutes of your travel time (and quite possibly 20 of your precious dollars) to buy a soggy sandwich or a questionably aged salad, you can simply rely on some pre-packed healthy vegan goodies to keep you fueled.

Whether you’re traveling on trains, planes, or a horse-drawn carriage, these are the best healthy vegan travel snacks to have on hand!

As Demeter would say, are you ready to get your snack on? Let’s do this! .

Best No Bake Vegan Travel Snacks

This is one of the best types of snacks to bring while traveling because you can easily prep them ahead of time, then toss them in a reusable snack bag and you’re all set! It’s nothing but smooth snacking for your trip. .

I can’t even remember the last time we went on a trip without some kind of no bake bites or bars on hand. They’re super filling, perfectly sweet, and packed with feel good ingredients so you don’t have to worry about sticking to any diets (or just general healthy eating) while you travel.

Here are some of our favorite no bake snack recipes to take along while traveling (bonus, these are all gluten free!):

• 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter No Bake Energy Bites Recipe

• 5 Ingredient Raw Vegan Brownies (No Bake) – Best Healthy Raw Brownies Recipe!

One of the coolest things about bringing your own vegan travel snacks? You can also use reusable snack bags and cut down on waste! Here is one of Demeter’s faves. She picked this print out just for my Batman-loving self–ahem–I mean, our 6-year-old nephew. 😉

Batman Reusable Snack Bags – these are washable, reusable and one of the best ways to store vegan no bake snacks when you’re on the go.

Best Fruits for Travel ..

Fresh fruits are one of the easiest vegan travel snacks to bring on any trip because they require little to no prep, and are super easy to pack. Wash the fruit at home if you can to make eating it as easy as possible.

Here are the best fruits to pack if you’re traveling:

• Green Apples: these are amazing for fighting nausea and seasickness, thanks to the pectin and natural sugars. Also, I love how sour they are. 😉
• Bananas – a total travel fruit staple. Not terribly messy to eat, and incredibly filling.
• Clementines/Tangerines – these are great because you can literally toss them into your bag and whip them out whenever you’re hungry. Practically no prep needed whatsoever!
• Dried fruit – one of the least messiest options for a fruity vegan travel snack. I’m a big fan of dried mango and blueberries, myself. .
• Carrots – okay, technically not a fruit, but still one of the best healthy snacks to pack for any kind of trip.

If you’re flying for your trip, you can usually even find some kind of fruit for sale at the airport in the food court area. Coffee shops (and in some cases newsstand shops) will usually have a bin of apples and/or bananas by the register. Sometimes healthier restaurants or delis may also have fruit salads, but buy these with caution. Check expiration and sell by dates, because spoiled or improperly handled fruit can cause some nasty stomach aches.

Here’s one of the reusable travel snack containers that we love for storing fruit!

Stasher Reusable Snack Bags – Best for travel snacks that are a little more on the messy side, like fresh fruit. We like washing these by hand, but they’re dishwasher-safe, too!
