Thank you Hippeas for sponsoring this post. All opinions, content, and thoughts are my own.
I love a good road trip! Whether it’s driving cross-country with friends or driving 3-hours to your favorite campground, there’s something about being on the open road and getting away from the city. When I’m on the road, I love having good tunes, snacks, and other essentials. Here are my top road trip Essentials that you will need on the road.
Road Trip Essentials

- Car Charger
- Outlet Converter Charger (for charging normal plugs in your car)
- Flashlight
- Travel Knife
- Lighter
- Gas (just in case)
- Water
- Blanket
- First Aid Kit
- Some Cash (Some places that you stop are cash only or require change for meters)
healthy snacks
- Jerkey
- Nuts
- Hippeas
- Apples and Peanut Butter
- Hummus and Carrots
- Granola Bars
- Trail Mix
- Mini Cooler for Snacks
Hippeas is the ultimate road trip snack. They are made with organic chickpeas and have 3g of fiber and 4g of protein per 1oz serving!
I get super snacky on the road and crave things with a crunch. That’s why I love Hippeas!
My favorite flavor has to be Bohemian Barbeque. It has the perfect smoky flavor and the perfect crunch that satisfies my cravings
You can find Hippeas at 30,000+ locations and of course good ol’ Amazon.com

Hippeas also gives back their mantra is “Peas, Love, and Giving Back.” So catchy right? They are partners with Farm Africa and help farmers grow themselves out of poverty and build better lives for themselves. I think this is amazing and really love when brands give back.?
I ALWAYS NEED THESE
- Sunscreen BB Cream (my fave)
- Lipbalm
- Hand Sanitizer
- Lotion
- Baby Wipes
- Sunscreen
- Hair Ties/Clips
- Mouthwash
- Hairbrush (especially if you like to drive with the windows down)
- Nail File/Clipper (because there is nothing more annoying than a snagged nail!)
Other Miscellaneous Essentials
- Car Trash Can
- Car Organizer
- Camera (my favorite on-the-go point and shoot)
- Napkins/Tissue
- Pop Socket Car Mount
- Wireless Headphones
- Road Atlas (you never know when you’re going to not have GPS)
- Umbrella/Rain Jacket

I’ll be heading out on the road a couple of times this summer. When I’m in Minnesota we will heading out to Wisconsin to camp for the weekend and then I’ll be heading to Mammoth Lakes in August! I would love to hear where your headed and some of your “can’t live without” road trip essentials.
Safe travels!
