It may be very tiring for some but for many, long road trips spells fun and adventure. For Filipinos, the best part in planning for a road trip is the food preparation, and the idea of what food to eat during the trip.
Here’s a list of all of healthy, all-natural pre-made snacks you can bring along for long drives. They are a fun treat, and easy to prepare to save you some serious pre-trip stress and best of all, they will never compromise your health.
