If you travel at all, you don\u2019t need me to describe the dismal food options at most airports. Yes, there are occasionally some decent choices, but what to do in the face of cinnamon buns, cold white-bread lunchmeat sandwiches, and mini-pizzas?<\/p>\n

Pack your own.<\/p>\n

Adding yet another item to your pre-departure list may not seem worth the trouble, but consider the delays most travelers face these days. You might be glad you tucked a few nutritional snacks into your carry-on.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of my favorites:
\n\u2022\tNatural peanut butter sandwich on whole-grain bread with raisins<\/strong> Cut into quarters and pop into a bag. Pull out a square when you\u2019re feeling peckish and enjoy the sweet-salty combo. Goes well with skim milk if it\u2019s offered. Plus, peanuts<\/a> contain antioxidant levels that rival many fruits.
\n\u2022\tVeggie surprise<\/strong> Bag some cut-up carrots, bell peppers, and\/or celery. When the captain announces you\u2019ll be sitting on the tarmac for 45 minutes, start chomping. Celery<\/a> can help lower blood pressure just when you need it.
\n\u2022\tFruit<\/strong> Scrub a banana and a small apple. Fruit won\u2019t spike your blood sugar like cookies and chips, which leave you hungry soon after eating. Throw in a few prunes for good measure. Click here<\/a> to read about their constellation of health benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
