With all the holiday hustle and bustle, hangry outbreaks are not uncommon this time of year, much to the chagrin of our significant others. Hangry happens suddenly, unexpectedly, and it won't go away until you do something about it. Fortunately, you can stave off the worst symptoms by making your own personal hangry kit to stash in your purse, messenger bag, or car.
A perfect hangry kit should have a mix of essential flavors (salty, bitter, and sweet) so you can go to it for any craving. It also should have snacks that are small and portable, yet durable enough to not get crushed when packed in a purse or a bag. Find something that is also heat-tolerant enough to handle being left in the car and you have a formula that solves Hangry.

You can package hangry items in small plastic resealable bags (with an appropriate disclaimer) or in small bento boxes like these. Here are a few recipes that'll get you started on making your own kit to accompany all your holiday errands and travels.

Like a granola bar?
I keep a Luna bar in my bike kit, but there's only so often I can eat prepackaged things.
I always carry an Altoids tin of almonds with maybe some chocolate in my purse, and I find that the tiny "cutie" tangerines that are abundant now are a perfect, portable snack. I also have a stash of hardboiled eggs in my office fridge at all times, and I've been known to stick one in my pocket if I leave work knowing it'll be a bit before I get to eat.
lol.
I always keep an energy/granola bar in my purse for this exact purpose.
We beat the hangry with our very own Nutcases :) http://foodtrainers.bigcartel.com/product/foodtrainers-original-nutcase
Haha. I will have to let my husband know that he isn't the only one who uses "hangry."
