This year has taught us too many things; immunity is important, staying safe is of utmost importance, eating right is the true medicine, and you don’t always need to get on a plane to travel safely. How the tables have turned for us, right?
Whether it is a day-long drive, or a short 3-hour getaway, we tend to more often than not, leave at a 8-10AM time frame and most often, forget to pack a few meals. Acidity sets in, we spoil it further with coffee and kaboom, we are drained by the time we reach our destination, because we have stopped along the way to grab an unhealthy snack!
Breakfast is the most essential meal of your every day, because it is the first bite you break your all night fast with. Make sure it is a nutritious one, because that is what sets the tone for how your day will unfold. Whether it is a lavish spread, a muffin on-the-go, or your everyday cereal bowl; make variations, treat yourself, because breakfast, surprisingly is a meal that is comforting, pampering and your best bet at starting your day with a good mood!
So, it is our own responsibility, to pack a few mini-meals to kickstart our road-trips nutritiously! Whether it is a set of pre-packaged snacks or freshly made sandwiches, or even some mini spring rolls (baked, not fried), they work well for a quick breakfast in your cars! At Gouri’s, we prepare our snacks in a way that they can be enjoyed whole, or as part of a quick recipe, and our Energy Bars, Energy Balls, Cereal Mixes and our quick to eat, Energy Minis are packed with nutritive goodness!
Here are some quick recipes for a snack-a-thon on your road trips:
Cereal Yogurt Jars
We all love cheesecake jars, and brownie jars, but our hearts and our stomachs eventually don’t. But you know what tastes just as good, and serves your health as well? A jar of fresh greek yogurt, layered with some fresh fruits to bite into, tossed with or topped with a crunchy handful of our Mighty Oats Cereal Mix!
A Crunchy Cheese Sandwich
A twist to the conventional cheese sandwiches: lather a good layer of cream cheese and sprinkled some Rice Power Cereal for an extra crunch!
Ziplocked Cereal Munches
Sometimes, all you need is some namkeen. Skip the fattening, and opt for a mixture of our Magic Millet & Apricot Mix. Conveniently packaged in single-serve ziploc bags, these work as a perfect snack along for your road trips!
A Berry Blaster Trail Mix
A trail mix is unnecessary to purchase, when you can make your own with Gouri’s Goodies Cereal Mixes – take your cereal mix of choice, and chop up some chocolate pieces, and some fresh berries from the local market. A jar of complete goodness!
A few Minis for a Long Way
When you are too lazy to prepare a snack, grab a box of Gouri’s Goodies Assorted minis, and head on for your journey. Pop as you go, flavours galore!
Cereal & OJ Packets
A bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice, and a single-serve ziploc of Happy Millet & Apricot Cereal is your happy mood for a trip! Fresh, nutritious and perfect for an on-the-go meal!
Who Said Cake is a Bad Thing?
A day before, all you need to do is prepare this , for a delicious snack on the go. Dip a slice in your takeaway coffees, on the way, for a fun snack!
There is so much you can do with just a handful of ingredients. Our snack items at Gouri’s Goodies are the best way to catch up on your nutrition as well as treat yourself to excellent taste. Breakfast, after all, is the king’s meal!
