Many will be hitting the highways this weekend for spring break.  We found a list of the best treats based on taste and healthiness.

Many will be hitting the highways this weekend for spring break.  Just in time we found a list of the best treats to make a pit stop for at gas stations.  Based on taste and healthiness, these are your best bets:  chocolate covered peanuts (because of the protein in the nuts) or just go for packs of plain nuts. Kind bars are easier to find these days and are low in sugar and additives with healthy fats and protein.  Popcorn is also on the list.  Go for plain or lightly salted.  Pretzels are low in calories and have taste and texture to fit cravings. Fruit cups paired with trail mix is also a good option as is individual fresh fruits sometimes offered.  Other popular favs that are not necessarily healthy include beef jerky, PopTarts, Hot Pockets and individual sized muffins.
