Clean Eating on the Go: 40 Snack Ideas

Eating right on the go is one of the difficult parts about eating clean. Almost all of the most common, most convenient foods are not going to fit in with the protocol, especially your new focus on simple, whole ingredients and food combinations. Fast food and junk food won’t cut it.

For this reason, advance planning is a must. Always make sure that you have clean, whole foods on hand so that when hunger hits, you can easily turn to these snacks to get satisfaction and maintain your energy. You may even want to invest in an insulated lunch bag to store your food.

Here are 40 great suggestions for healthy, portable snacks that are clean eating friendly.
