9 Healthy Snacks at the Gas Station

A long drive can get you hungry, no doubt. Of course, we all know that gas stations are filled with slushies, chips and hot dogs. But, you can actually find several healthy snacks at the gas station, too.

A number of registered dietitians, who spend time on the road for work, have come up with a list of pit stop snacks that are not just filling but nutritious, too.

So, here are the nine best snack options from a gas station, according to R.D.s.

1. Protein bars

According to Lindsey Pine, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D, C.L.T, owner of Tasty Balance Nutrition, the best protein bar you can find at any gas station is the RX Bars. You can choose from several delicious flavors, including chocolate sea salt and peanut butter. They’re packed with protein, plant-based fats, and fiber that will keep you full longer.
