While travelling, carrying home-cooked meals tops the priority list. Homemade goodies – like parathas, theplas, and samosas— always add on to the travel experience. But, healthy eating should take always take priority. This is where carrying travel-friendly snacks can play an important role.

Here are 3 healthy snacks to carry while travelling:
1. Ragi Laddoo
First, Ms Diwekar recommends carrying a laddoo, especially a Ragi laddoo. She says it has millets, ghee and jaggery which will make sure that even if you don’t get any meal, you got yourself covered because of the millets. The ghee in the laddoos will also help in digestion and jaggery will make sure that even if you are not drinking enough water, you are not getting constipated. She says the best time to have these ladoos is between 4-6 pm.
2. Nuts
Second, Ms Diwekar recommended carrying nuts. We can carry salted nuts but we should add the salt at home, according to the nutritionist.
3. Dry Nashta
Lastly, she said carrying some kind of a “dry nashta”, which consists of a khakhra or chivda or something which can just be eaten dry. She advises eating these whenever we need to.
