These Are the Best Plane Snacks from Trader Joe’s to Bring on Your Next Trip
Feb 11, 2025
These healthy-ish snacks will sate you on your next trip.
Let’s face it: airport snacks have always been pricey. But these days, it’s downright unaffordable. Aside from saving yourself money, bringing your own snacks on your flight can also be a much healthier alternative. And no one does snacks better than TJ’s.
Generally, it’s best to look for things that are high in protein, fiber, and flavor, and that aren’t loaded with added sugar, keeping you fuller for longer by avoiding glucose spikes. And while there’s actual science behind why super salty crunch snacks taste better in the air, I generally avoid that too so as to avoid dehydration and therefore jet lag. Here are the 10 best snacks to grab at Trader Joe’s before your next flight.
Hazelnut Nougat Barebells
I swear these actually taste like a hybrid of a Snickers and Nutella. They’re my favorite protein bars on the market and are much healthier than grabbing a candy bar at the Hudson News kiosk.
Chomps Beef Sticks
An antibiotic and hormone-free version of a Slim Jim, these are a road trip staple for me, too. They’re high in protein and sugar-free as well.
Giant Peruvian Inca Corn
If you’re a fan of Corn Nuts, these oversize corn kernels will hit the spot. They’re admittedly a bit salty, but they taste so good up in the air.
