Beef jerky is the quintessential road trip food but what you grab at the gas station is usually loaded with nitrates and other yucky stuff. Baja’s beef jerky is all the goodness without the gross.

Not everything on a road trip has to be good for you — for many people it’s a time to treat yourself.

Nothing says a road trip like a good trail mix. Trade in the overly salted classic mixes for something with a little more flavor and a few more better-for-you ingredients.

You’ll get your dose of Omega-3s and protein without any refined sugars or artificial ingredients.

A good bag of chips is a road trip essential but deciding on which one is always challenging.
