Whisps Protein Snackers: $2.99+
The problem with a lot of ready-to-eat snacks is that they're not very balanced or varied, which is what we love about Whisps Protein Snackers. Each pack contains a mixture of baked cheese bites, high-quality salami slices and dried fruit, packing 11 grams of protein plus great flavors that make them effortless to enjoy. Even better, you don't have to keep them in a cooler.

Odyssey Elixir Revive Variety 12-Pack: $41.99
Instead of turning to your favorite sugary soda on your next trip, you may get a lot more out of a sparkling elixir like these Revive drinks from Odyssey. They combine nutrients and adaptogens, such as electrolytes, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, lion's mane and cordyceps, to hydrate the body while revitalizing the mind with fresh, fruity flavors. In case you need an energy boost, Odyssey offers drinks naturally caffeinated with green tea extracts, too.

Country Archer Provisions Teriyaki Beef Jerky: $7.99
Beef jerky is a road trip staple, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for the low-quality stuff they have at the gas station. Instead, we love the better-for-you options from Country Archer Provisions, which are still full of protein, but are made with all-real ingredients and have less salt and sugar than the competition. You truly can't go wrong with their Teriyaki Beef Jerky.
