Sometimes you just need a sweet treat. And when you are over the road there are a lot of sweet treats you can choose from the moment you step inside the truck stop.

The problem with the food selections at truckstops is that it is heavily processed, has a ton of sugar, and can be loaded with additives your body just doesn’t need.

To your surprise, I am not against a sweat-treat. And with a little preparation and gathering of healthy ingredients you can find yourself with some yummy treats to travel with (just don’t eat them all at once).
