Pack drinkable ice packs – Road trip tip

When my husband and I take our annual road trip from Denver to California with our two kids, we always pack frozen juice packs in our cooler for the 17-hour drive.

They’re perfect for keeping refrigerated snack foods cold during the journey, and along the way they melt just enough to drink or enjoy as a slushy.

The best part is: there’s no drippy ice to dump upon arrival — and no ice packs to lug home.
