Have an away tournament coming up? Business trip? Who doesn’t love road trips? It’s nice to get a way, but sometimes we aren’t fully prepared, so stopping and grabbing fast food may be your only option.

We are making sure you’re prepared with easy healthy snack options, for you, your family, and friends. We hope these recipes make an appearance the next time you plan a road trip. ENJOY!

Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bark
(Ice chest required)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups full fat plain greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 4 Tbsp cacoa powder
- 2 ripe bananas
Preparation:
In a bowl, mix together the greek yogurt, honey and cacoa powder until well combined. Next you will want to slice the banana into coin slices. Pour half the yogurt mixture into a dish lined with parchment paper. Add a layer of bananas then pour the remaining yogurt mixture on top then finish the top with the left over banana. Freeze until solid 2-3 hours or overnight. Remove from freezer and cut into large chunks. Serve immediately or put into an airtight container and keep stored in the freezer.

In a large bowl, mix all those ingredients together. After you’ve mixed everything together cover and let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.
