Your Field Guide to Healthy Summer Road Trips
But before you hop in the car, you're going to want to make sure you have the right gear packed to avoid any mid-trip mishaps (no one likes arguing with backseat drivers).
First on the list? Snacks, of course. Made In Nature™ has you covered with certified organic and non-GMO bites for the healthy kick you need. Think kale and coconut chips, dried fruits like mangoes and dates, and tasty fruit-and-nut blends you'll want to grab by the handful. The best part is, you can also snag the flavorful eats in single-serve sizes for snacking on-the-go, and stock up at select 7-Eleven stores nationwide and other road-trip friendly spots.
But if there's any star in the lineup, it's the Figgy Pops—the perfectly portioned energy balls that will save you from resorting to a fast-food fix. With wholesome organic ingredients like dates, pepita seeds, coconut, gluten-free oats, and of course, figs, the pop-and-go treats serve up the healthy fats and fiber to keep you fueled up and ready to chase the horizon.
Throw a water bottle, selfie-worthy sunglasses, and a portable phone charger into your super durable (and super cute) backpack, and you'll be ready to hit the road.
Scroll down for all the healthy essentials you need for your mindful mobile vacay, from instant matcha to an instant camera.
Made In Nature Figgy Pops
