Question Road Trip Snacks

Help!
I'm going on a road trip tomorrow and realized I haven't replaced my usual Pringles and M&Ms with anything locarb. I have to have finger foods while I drive and I'm tired of cheese and the hard sugarless candies. I love almonds, but they can upset my stomach if I eat too many and they tend to cause me to stall.
Suggestions Please?

Smile Vegetable sticks?

You could try cutting up some carrot, celery, cucumber, capsicum (peppers) + other vegies that are good raw and have those. They're really refreshing too. You could still have some nuts as well, try macadamias if you like them.

Veggie sticks are an awesome suggestion, and I would like to add: BEEF JERKY!!! and a whole lotta water (though the water may make for frequent rest stops!

Have a great road trip!

If I can manage dip while driving, veggie sticks sound good and I totally forgot about beef jerky. I used to eat it all the time.
Thanks

Ditto what the others wrote. The best part is that most of these things can be easily found at convenience stores, etc: jerkey, string cheese, pork rinds, nuts, sliced deli meats, veggies.

Happy trails!
