We know it's not always easy to stay healthy when you're away from home.  However, with a little planning, you can snack healthy on your summer vacation!  Snacks to pack for your next getaway that are good for you -- and your teeth!

Healthy Snacks for Your Summer Vacation:

• Roasted Chickpeas - Chickpeas are lower in calories and fat than nuts, but still satisfy your salty craving!
• Sugar Free Yogurt - Craving something cool?  Pack some sugar free yogurt into a cooler before your trip to the beach.  Just make sure that the yogurt is next to the ice or a cool drink to let it keep while on-the-go.
• Trail Mix - Pretzels and peanuts are a great travel snack.  Just make sure your brush when you reach your destination!  Frequent snacking can leave plaque-inducing bacteria in your mouth.
• Apples - Apples are the perfect on-the-go snack!  They are easy to bring in any bag, and they are good for your teeth too.
