At the top of your list of what to pack for a trip should be something very important: snacks. Because let's face it — airplane food is not the best (there's a reason Gordon Ramsay would never eat it). Packing your favorite homemade snacks ensures you won't suffer from midflight hunger, and you'll have more energy to get through a long travel day. Skip the store-bought junk on your next trip and opt for filling snacks like smoky almonds, baked kale chips, chocolate peanut butter bites, and more homemade snacks that are fit for a plane.

Clif Bars are the perfect plane snack, and if you've always been curious about how to make your own, you'll love this easy tutorial. You can customize it to your liking with your favorite fruit and nuts.
Roasting chickpeas with olive oil and salt is totally sufficient, but if you want something more flavorful, try roasting them with Mediterranean spices like za'atar.
Skip the snooze-worthy nuts and put together an easy batch of rosemary-sesame pecans that you'll actually look forward to eating once you get on the plane.
For something more substantial, bring something like turkey roll-ups or these buffalo chicken pinwheels that are bite size and ideal for mess-free eating.
