Travel Snacking, Reconsidered.

A deliberately simple system for eating better, spending less, and reallocating snack dollars toward more meaningful experiences (such as cocktails).

Overview

The Nutbag is a bring‑your‑own travel snack methodology.

It replaces overpriced, underperforming airport food with a prepared, portable mix of nuts and related assets, assembled in advance and carried with quiet confidence.

No subscriptions. No branding requirements. No surprises.

The Problem

Modern travel environments consistently fail at snacks.

  • • High prices
  • • Low nutritional return
  • • Limited customization
  • • Questionable freshness

The traveler is left with a choice: overpay or go hungry.

The Nutbag resolves this.

The Solution

A Nutbag is:

  • • Pre‑built at home
  • • Optimized for portability
  • • Tuned to personal preference
  • • Resistant to melting, crushing, and regret

It performs consistently across planes, cars, trains, hotels, meetings, and trailheads.

The Economics

Nutbags are not about frugality. They are about resource reallocation.

Category Average Spend
Airport snacks $18–$25
Gas station snacks $12–$18
Nutbag (homemade) $3–$5
