Cookies for breakfast? Yes, please! With quick-cooking oats as the base, and a mixture of buckwheat flour, millet, cashew butter, and fresh raspberries, these cinnamon-spiced treats will keep you fueled all morning long.

Thermoses aren't just for keeping beverages cool; they also work great for keeping soup. Pull over at a rest stop or site and enjoy chilled gazpacho with a spoon topped with hard boiled egg or slices of Spanish ham. You can also skip the toppings and sip while you go.

When it's time for a sweet treat, bring out our decadent take on Muddy Buddies. A finger friendly way to get your chocolate-hazelnut fix, Chex are coated in the spread and then dusted with cocoa powder.

Not just a movie snack, popcorn is also perfect for snacking on the road. Bring out a bag of our Mexican street corn inspired popcorn—made with Pecorino Romano cheese, Tajín seasoning, and a pinch of cayenne pepper—and enjoy both the flavor and the view. 

Crackers are the perfect vehicle—no pun intended—for a variety of toppings, including pre-sliced meats and cheese and dip. Ours are made by pulsing almonds, flour, and salt until crumbly and forming the mixture into discs with finely chopped figs before baking to crispy, golden brown perfection. 

Here is a snack that will please any passenger and was pretty much invented for journeys of all sorts: trail mix. Make one big bag with your choice of mixed dried fruit (think apricots, cherries, and raisins), pecans, and candy-coated chocolate.
