Get excited y’all…Friday giveaways are BACK! Due to my blogging hiatus, I got a little behind on giveaways. There’s a lot I have to share with you, so I’m gonna try to host a giveaway every Friday.
Recently, I’ve been busy with work meetings, seminars, and traveling. This means a lot of eating on-the-go and eating out.
This past week, I took a day trip to Philly for a work meeting. Part of my new job involves eating out quite a bit, which has been awesome. This particular meeting took place at Yuki Sushi (yep, my boss has excellent taste!).
I started with the miso soup and upgraded the house salad to an avocado salad. There’s a grocery store near us that sells huge avocados for 59 cents each, so I’ve been eating them just about every single day.
For my entree, I went with the lunch special sushi + sashimi combo. I also got a side of tamago/egg omelet (LOVE!) and eel sushi.
AND The chef brought out a few specials on the house! On the left is some mashed sweet potato ball in tempura flakes and on the right is a cucumber roll with tuna, salmon, tamago, cream cheese, avocado and asparagus in spicy mayo.
If you’re in the Newtown Square area, I highly recommend Yuki Sushi.
As for on-the-go foods, I’ve been relying on a lot of almonds, bars, cookies, etc. to keep me going. This week, I’ve been enjoying Soyjoy bars (hoarded from the Naturemade headquarters), which I haven’t had in awhile. I forgot how good they are! My favorite flavors are Berry and Mango Coconut.
While traveling to LA last week, I packed some Love Grown Foods Hot Oats (brand new product) with me to save money on breakfast. I received these last month (a Love Blogger perk!) before the launch, but saved them for a time when I’d need breakfast without a fridge/microwave.
I used the hotel room coffee maker to brew hot water and mixed in a banana and chopped walnuts. Take that $9 hotel oatmeal!
Now here’s your chance to win Love Grown Foods Hot Oats in all 4 flavors as well as a bag of Oat Clusters (granola) in the flavor of your choosing.
To Enter:
- Leave a comment on this post sharing your favorite on-the-go snacks!

Giveaway open to U.S. and Canadian residents. No PO boxes. Prize provided by Love Grown Foods.

I love this giveaway! My favorite on-the-go snacks… wow that’s hard… probably cereal, pretzel crisps and fruit!
I definitely have to say a quality whole grain cereal or cracker and nuts/seeds are the best go-to snacks since they contain a great combination of fiber and protein + healthy fats! Also, throw in fruit, and it’s complete!
I retweeted your link!

Right now my favorite on-the-go snacks are almonds, apples, and KIND bars. So good! The Hot Oats sound delicious- I’ve seen them around on a couple blogs, but haven’t been able to find them in the store yet…
On the go snacks…apples, hard boiled eggs and Pringles
at the moment, I am obsessed with bananas. they are the best portable snack!
I travel about 500miles per week for work which means lots of time in the car and lots of unhealthy options everywhere. My go to on the move snacks and mini meals are:
Protein powder – I keep my shaker cup and baggies of protein powder with me at all times. It’s easy to find water or coconut water, soy milk, etc just about anywhere to mix up a quick shake.
Apples – pretty resilient and a great crunchy snack.
Instant oatmeal – I always have a few containers of pre-measured oats and usually a spoonful of chia seeds with cinnamon ready to go. Hot water and a stir and I have hot oatmeal.
Nuts – especially cashews and almonds.
Lastly, protein bars for emergencies or a major time crunch. I have a few favorites but really try to treat them as treats and use real food whenever possible.
My favorite on the go snack is my own trailmix!
favorite on the go snack has to be a chobani yogurt or nature valley granola bar
Fruit, trail mix/nuts, pb crackers, protein bars
apple slices + almonds= my fav on the go snack
Definitely almonds, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries!
I tend to look to bars or nuts as easy snacks on the go, but I definitely feel more satisfied if I can muster up some yogurt + cereal + banana. Massive clusters of Cocoa Love Grown granola work as well
i always have an apple or various protein bars in my bag! never know when hunger is gonna kick in
My favorite snack is trail mix. Those oatmeals sound great.
My favorite on-the-go snacks are single-serving packets of nut butter! I love squeezing it straight into my mouth (don’t judge)!

I think I have too many favorite snacks. . .but this week I enjoyed the Coconut Cream Larabar.
A piece of fruit, or some trail mix!
My favorite on the go snack is fruit and nuts!
I love nuts as a grab-and-go snack … especially those Blue Diamond Toasted Coconut Almonds you’ve been raving about. I found them at Target, and my life will never be the same.
I also tweeted about the giveaway. https://twitter.com/ArleneAWL/status/294987434599526400
apples and almonds. portable and tasty.
My favorite on-the-go snack are the little packages of roasted, unsalted almonds from TJ’s. I love roasted nuts too much, so I need them to be pre-portioned otherwise I will literally eat a cup of cashews without batting an eye. They are convenient, filling, and incredibly flavorful – can’t go wrong!
My favorite on the go snack is larabar or kind bars
I tweeted
My favorite on the go snack is think thin bars and clif bars. They’re just the easiest to carry. Or sometimes I’ll do freeze dried/dried fruits.

Ooo so much food! My favorite on-the-go snacks would have to be apples (the bigger the better:)), protein bars, cheese sticks and pretzels (<–greatest combo. ever.) and BANANAS! I used to carry oranges around with me until I realized it's extraordinarily hard to peel them and eat with my hands while in class without other people getting squirted at and looking at me because of the citrus smell. #FAIL.
