If you are:

• a parent with a kid in sports
• a stay-at-home mom/dad who spends more time in a car than anywhere else
• a nurse or other shift worker who spends extended hours on the floor with no access to food
• someone who travels a ton for work

…then this post is for you.

Chances are there’s been a time or two where you’ve realized it’s been hours upon hours since your last meal. It happens. We’re busy and we get caught up with what’s in front of us.

But if you find yourself in that position, you’re at a much higher likelihood to make food decisions based on convenience and speed (AKA grab less-than-healthy snacks and fast food).

If that sounds like you, there’s an easy solution: stocking on on quick, portable snacks.
