It’s the time of year when families pack the car and head out on vacation. An essential part of making a road trip successful is the food you take along. Here are a few great recipe suggestions to make sure your family is well fed on the road. Just prepare them before you leave, and pack them in a cooler for easy portability.

Granola Bars

Granola bars are a great source of nutrition and fuel for on-the-road snacking, plus they are usually packed with ingredients kids love. Some of my family’s favorites are:

• Dark Chocolate and Dried Cranberry Bars
• Salted Caramel Granola Bars
• Nutty Protein Granola Bars
• Chewy Cinnamon Raisin Bars
