On long train/road trips — one snack swap you actually used instead of fried/sugary treats?
Travelling by train or bus, I end up buying vada, samosa, or sweets because they're everywhere. What’s one snack you actually packed or bought on a trip that felt like a treat, stayed fine without refrigeration, and kept you full? Say where you found it or how you packed it if that helps.

A single easy swap: roasted chana or roasted makhana mixed with a few nuts and a little dried fruit. It’s crunchy, shelf-stable, higher in protein+fiber (so more filling than sweets), culturally common and easy to portion into zip-locks or a small tin. Other good options: khakhra, peanut chikki, roasted peanuts, or whole fruit (apple/banana). If you want soft items (dhokla, boiled eggs), use an insulated box with an ice pack and eat within a few hours. Bring wipes/napkin. Protein+fiber snacks reduce the impulse to buy fried/sugary treats.
