Snack Ideas For Commercial Truckers

When you’re constantly on the road as a commercial truck driver, it can be hard to maintain healthy routines. Eating becomes especially challenging, since you lack access to a kitchen and the facilities needed to store food. Here are a few healthy snack options you can try instead of grabbing another bag of chips at the gas station.

1. Hard-Boiled Eggs

Hardy and long-lasting and packed with protein, hard-boiled eggs are an excellent on-the-road snack to have in your cooler. Some stores even stock bags of eggs that are already cooked and peeled, but you can also boil some at home before your trip. Whether you like eating your eggs whole with a sprinkle of salt and pepper or mashing them up for a delicious egg-salad sandwich, you’ll get a good helping of protein to keep you alert and focused while you drive.

2. Fresh Veggies & Fruit With Dips

Cut-up strips and pieces of various fruits and vegetables, including carrots, celery, bell peppers, apples, and jicama, are an easy and nutritious snack that’s easy to eat with little clean-up necessary. You can bring an assortment of dips and sauces to add some flavor to your foods: caramel sauce for apples, ranch dressing for celery and carrots, sour cream for bell peppers.

3. Cheese & Crackers

High in fat and protein, cheese is a nutritious and filling snack. When paired with whole-grain crackers, you’re getting a dose of fiber, too. String cheese, prepackaged cheese sticks or cubes, Babybel rounds, and flavored cream cheese are all great options for snacking on the road.
