Best Travel Snacks + Giveaway!

Good moring, it is hump day!

Half way through the week and one more day before vacation for this girl. We are spending the holiday weekend up north at my parents’ house in Traverse City. My brother, sister in law and nephew live there as well, so once my sister and her family arrive on Friday afternoon it should be one heck of a good time! I love getting the whole family together.

One night I will chop up veggies for two salads and then I am set for two days! I get one day off of prep and then repeat. With a little one it is best to have food on the ready. Having my lunch prepped to go makes life soooo much easier.

After I finished my salad I snacked on an apple and drank some decaf caramel tea. I love a warm cup of tea as it curbs my sweet tooth and warms me up.

Snack

I had a lot of work to do in the afternoon, so I grabbed a KIND bar and made myself an ice coffee and spent an hour in my office.

KIND bars have been my jam lately; they are so easy, convenient, packed with good stuff and taste so good. Their flavors keep getting better and better. The kind (<
