The Best Kwik Trip Food for Road Trips

Kwik Trip is the best gas station in America. Yep, I said it. The very best. From the Kwik Trip food options to the kind employees and clean facilities, it’s always a great place to stop. Not to mention, always a wonderful customer experience.

And when you’re on a long drive, Kwik Trip stores offer everything you need. Especially when it comes to food. Hot, real food; not those shriveled-up hot dogs that have been sitting there for hours. We’re talking donuts from their own bakery. Snacks on snacks whether you’re looking to indulge or remain healthy. Even a grocery store section with fresh produce!

Kwik Trip foods are perfect for your road trips and vacations across the Midwest.

Note: Kwik Trip is Wisconsin’s favorite gas station so you are going to find them ALL OVER Wisconsin. There are also plenty throughout Minnesota. And a few in Illinois and small towns of Upper Michigan as they start to expand!

Let’s get into all of the best Kwik Trip food options:

The glazer — a kwik trip staple.

Did you know Kwik Trip owns its own bakery in La Crosse, Wisconsin? YEP. Which means their baked goods are some of the best. Enter: The Glazer. Perhaps the most exciting breakfast, snack, dinner (whatever!) at Kwik Trip.

The Glazer Donut is fresh, fluffy, sweet, and only $0.99. Grab the plain (my personal favorite), chocolate-drizzled, or white-drizzled, and savor every bite of the vanilla-glazed goodness!

• Approximately 24,000 donuts are created in just one hour!
• There is a glazer-scented candle. (Obviously, it smells good lol.)
• The Glazer originated in 2003 and was named by a Kwik Trip employee who submitted the idea to the marketing department.

WOW. Quite the section dedicated to a donut. Try one if you haven’t! It’s worth every calorie.

Pro Tip: Pair with a Karuba Coffee.

Their Karuba Gold machines will make all of your favorites; Lattes, Mochas, Chai Tea, Americanos, Iced Coffee, Hot Chocolate, and so much more. There are flavored syrups, the same ones as your favorite coffee shops, so you can be your own barista. And to finish it off perfectly, add whip cream, drizzle, and toppings. Not only can you make it exactly how you like it, but you’ll save some money!

Kwik Trip Burritos

One of my favorite things about Kwik Trip food is their hot options. It’s not your average (gross) gas station food. It’s actual real food and always hits the spot. And the burritos…oh man, the burritos. They are my favorite Kwik Trip purchase. Even more than the Glazer…

• Beef & Bean Burrito: The ultimate option. But rare. If this is available, grab it!
• Chicken Salsa Rice Burrito: Very delish. My second favorite. Beef wins through because the flavor in this one has a hint of sweetness.
• Sausage Breakfast Burrito: Solid. My only complaint is the liquid cheese. Still good though.
• Pizza Burrito: If I’ve had too many beers, I really like this one. Lol.

Kwik Trip Chicken Sandwiches

No burritos? That’s all right. Because chicken sandwiches are always available. Go with the regular or spicy and you will never be disappointed. Grab two then head over to the condiments and doctor them up. Lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, whatever you like is there to make your meal a little more hearty!

Kwik Trip Brand Chips

Love Doritos? Grab the Kwik Trip brand version —for cheaper! There’s also sour cream and onion, tortilla, or potato. They are always fresh and go perfectly with your chicken sandwich! (Ask my husband, this meal is a delicacy…)

Omg if there’s anything I literally cannot deny myself, it’s these damn egg rolls. Every snack, lunch, or dinner I get from Kwik Trip includes an egg roll. Chicken sandwich with an egg roll. Salad with an egg roll. Donut with an egg roll. It really doesn’t matter lol. All flavors are delicious. And they are always a hot and a fresh food option!

Kwik Trip Ice Cream

Kwik Trip ice cream is all made with local milk and tastes just like the expensive stuff. Plus, you can get them pint-size. Number One Pro Tip: if you love Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked (I mean, who doesn’t?) then you need to opt for the pint-size of Brookie Dough Ice Cream. Omg. I was expecting a decent substitution hack, but my goodness it’s exact. Get your fix at Kwik Trip for $2.75 vs. a $5+ pint of Ben & Jerry’s.

Keep It Healthy with Kwik Trip Snacks

Sometimes you’re coming home after a road trip full of beers and unhealthy food and you are craving something that your body actually appreciates. And believe it or not, you can make healthy choices, even when you make a gas station stop. Another reason why I love Kwik Trip is the partnership for a Healthier America. Here are some healthy food product options:

Bento Boxes & Fresh Fruit

Fruits, cheeses, peanut butter, nuts. Kwik Trip food includes a variety of bento boxes that give you the perfect road trip snack when you aren’t about chasing empty calories. And right next to those, you’ll find the perfect-sized fruit cups. Watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, strawberries, you have all of the options! And it’s always fresh.

Perfect Bars

My favorite healthy snack—whether I am at Kwik Trip or not. These bars are made from whole foods only and without natural flavors. They have a variety of options and the best is the Dark Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter. The best part? They really do fill you up with 15 grams of protein.

Prepared Salads

One of my go-to’s when I need some easy vegetables! There are a variety of salad options with fresh lettuce and toppings that come in a separate compartment—perfect if you want to leave something out. My go-to is the chicken supreme!

Kwik Trip Drinks

• Chocolate Milk: Honestly, I’m not a huge chocolate milk drinker but it seems to be extremely popular with the Kwik Trip community (yes, there is a community ha) and is very affordable!
• Smoothies: Stop by the self-serve Fresh Blender machine. Create your own smoothie through a touchscreen menu. The kids love it!
• Flavored Water: Kwik Trip carries Vita Ice which is a staple for my husband and must-grab for flavored water fanatics.
• Karuba Coffee: You know this one already!
• Beer & Wine: If you’re in Wisconsin, make your alochol purchases at Kwik Trip. If you’re in Minnesota, they still need to get with the program. (Don’t drink and drive ;))

More Kwik Trip Foods:

• Pizza: They always have great options by the slice. And sometimes there are insane deals on full pizzas you can’t pass up! Plus, they have take and bake pizzas as well.
• Croissant Breakfast Sandwich: People swear by these! The egg and cheese croissant sammy’s are pretty big and a little much for me in the morning, but if this is your type of thing, you’ll love it.
• Cake Donuts and Scotcheroos: I mentioned the Glazer but there are other top-notch sweet treats to check out at Kwik Trip. (Pro Tip: go for one of these top 3 items vs. a cookie.)
• Fried Chicken and Chicken Tenders: Take care of the whole family with one purchase! Their boxes of chicken are a hit.

Pro Tip: Kwik Trip Take Home Meals

The last thing you want to do when you get home from a road trip is cook! Lucky for you, Kwik Trip has a variety of meal options that include Kitchen Cravings take home meals that are ready to eat as soon as you walk in the door.

• Spicy Chicken Penne
• Macaroni and Cheese + Chicken Bacon Mac and Cheese

Another Bonus: Kwik Trip Grocery

Kwik Trip is a low-key grocery store. When returning home from a trip, we typically don’t have much in the fridge. But at your convenience, you’ll find milk, eggs, cheese, avocados, meats, pizza, and more at every Kwik Trip. Stock up on a few staples at a great price to buy yourself some time before the big grocery store!

The Beauty of Kwik Trip

Who knew a convenience store chain could be such a game-changer lol? The gas stations’ quality food options, whether you want a full meal, snack, or groceries, are bar none. And Kwik Trip stores go above and beyond with all their other amenities—staff, clean bathrooms, rewards program with fuel discounts, new and improved products frequently, the list goes on and on. Show me a better gas station in the United States. You can’t.

Next time you are heading to Duluth, Minnesota , Eau Claire, Wisconsin, or the Upper Peninsula , make sure a Kwik Trip location is included in your travel stops!

Is Kwik Trip a good grocery store alternative? For some items, yes. Here's how prices compare

With just over 500 locations throughout the state, Kwik Trip is quickly securing its place as a neighborhood grocery and convenience store.

Beyond its usual gas station fare, the chain is known for its fresh fruit and other staple grocery items. But how do the prices compare to those of a typical grocery store?

Using a list of grocery items we have used in previous grocery price comparison stories, we compared what items we could find at Kwik Trip to those at Walmart and Pick 'n Save , prioritizing store brand prices where possible.

Our full grocery list includes: half a gallon of almond milk, a loaf of whole wheat bread, one pound of bacon, one pound of bananas, one pound of 80/20 ground beef, a four-pack of butter, standard box of Cheerios, standard box of Cheez-Its, a dozen eggs, a five pound bag of flour, canned green beans, 18 ounces of strawberry jam, 18 ounces of peanut butter, a head of iceberg lettuce, a gallon of milk, individual naval oranges, a two-pack of paper towels and a six-pack of toilet paper.

In the past, Triscuits were included in the list, but were not for this story because of a lack of store brand alternatives.

How much have grocery prices increased this year?

Although we are only two months into the new year, talk about grocery prices, more specifically eggs , has been a popular discussion among Wisconsinites.

In a November grocery price comparison story, we looked at the total cost of our shopping basket at Walmart, prioritizing Walmart's store brand, Great Value.

The sum of the list, which included items like whole milk, eggs, bread, bacon, toilet paper and more, totaled $46.05, after removing the cost of Triscuits from the list. This month, that same list totaled $48.48.

While the price of eggs has been a popular topic recently, the cost of a dozen Great Value eggs actually dropped from $3.26 in November to $2.87.

Great Value butter and store brand ground beef were the highest-cost food items on the list, at $4.48 for butter and $4.36 for 80/20 ground beef. The highest priced item on the list overall was the six-pack of toilet paper at $7.92.

In July 2022, we visited Pick 'n Save with the same grocery list to compare the cost of groceries from name brand to their store brands.

The total cost of the store brand items on the list in July 2022 equaled $53.42, minus the price of Triscuits. Visiting the store this year, the total cost of store brand items came to $56.60.

A dozen store brand eggs at Pick 'n Save cost $4.69 and the most expensive item on the list was also a six-pack of toilet paper at $7.49.

For both Walmart and Pick 'n Save, the total cost of the grocery list increased slightly from the previous year by only $2 to $3.

Is Kwik Trip better for convenience or price?

With Kwik Trip's decently sized grocery options, including produce and hot and cold take-home meals, many visit the gas station/convenience store for items they might not want to travel to a full grocery store to get.

The chain carried most of the items on our grocery list, with the exception of oranges, canned green beans, full-sized Cheerios and Cheez-Its. It also offers its own store brand alternatives for majority of the items, besides almond milk, flour, peanut butter and jelly.

With the missing items and name brand alternatives taken into consideration, the cost of our shopping list totaled $50.56.

If you were to visit Walmart for the items that Kwik Trip did not carry, the total would be $55.98.

While this price was less than Pick 'n Save's total, Walmart still holds the cheapest total.

Kwik Trip's eggs were $3.99, and the most expensive item on our list was their store brand bacon at $4.99. While it doesn't offer a six-pack of toilet paper, it does have a four-pack alternative for $3.69. This means you're paying about $0.92 per roll, compared to $1.24 per roll at Pick n' Save and $1.32 per roll at Walmart.

While some of the items were cheaper at Kwik Trip than at the other stores, like butter, ground beef and eggs, other items seemed to be double the price than at a grocery store, like peanut butter, jelly, and almond milk.

Kwik Trip customers might sacrifice the cost of some of these items for the convenience of being nearby one of the many locations. There are exactly 501 Kwik Trip locations throughout the state, meaning many don't have to travel far before they find a store, and many cities have more than one.

When asked about its pricing strategies, Kwik Trip declined to comment.

Attacks in Russia’s Belgorod: What we know so far

Ukraine has denied any involvement in a daring cross-border assault that threatens to further escalate the war.

Fifteen months after Moscow’s troops invaded Ukraine, one of the largest and most daring cross-border attacks since the war began has been carried out in Russia.

On Monday, two anti-Kremlin groups – the Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC) and Freedom of Russia Legion – claimed responsibility for the incursion in the Belgorod region.

Keep reading

Russian ‘clean up’ operation after raid on belgorod from ukraine, russia-ukraine war: list of key events, day 454, us says russia’s wagner force eyes mali as route for war supplies.

Fighting continued for a second day early on Tuesday. A dozen people are reportedly wounded and some residents have been evacuated.

Later on Tuesday, Russia’s Defence Ministry said that the units it blamed had been forced back into Ukrainian territory. More than 70 attackers have been killed, the ministry said, a figure that was not possible to verify.

After accusing Ukraine, Russia opened a “terrorism” investigation. Officials in Kyiv say they had nothing to do with the attacks.

Here is what we know so far:

Where is Belgorod?

Russia’s Belgorod province borders Ukraine’s Luhansk, Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

It is about 600km (373 miles) from the Russian capital, Moscow, and has been a front-line region, serving as a vital base for the Kremlin’s armed forces to launch attacks towards Ukraine.

But Belgorod has also exposed Russian vulnerabilities.

Moscow accidentally bombed Belgorod city last month, while f uel and ammunition stores in the region have been rocked by explosions since the start of the war.

What happened in Belgorod?

Early on Monday, Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov raised an alarm with the Kremlin, saying a Ukrainian “sabotage group” had entered Russian territory in the Grayvoron district.

According to Russia, the raiders opened fire with mortars and artillery on residential and administrative buildings and civilian infrastructure. Russian air-defence forces reportedly shot down drones over the region.

Moscow later said it was carrying out a counterterrorism operation.

Gladkov said one elderly lady had died while being evacuated, but that no civilians were killed in the clashes.

He described the situation as “extremely tense”.

Social media users said air raid sirens rang out and that checkpoints had been targeted.

Fighting continued for a second day. At midday on Tuesday, Russia said it had pushed back the attackers and that 70 had been killed.

On Tuesday, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a Washington, DC-based based think-tank, said that two “all-Russian pro-Ukrainian” groups had crossed the border with tanks, armoured personnel carriers and other weaponised vehicles, citing Russian sources.

Who was behind the attacks?

Russia accused Ukraine of launching the attacks, but Kyiv has denied involvement.

Throughout the war, Ukraine has not taken responsibility for any attacks against Russia, saying its fight is purely defensive.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, as quoted by Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti, said the purpose of the alleged Ukrainian mission in Belgorod was “to divert attention from the direction of Bakhmut”.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s adviser, Mykhailo Podolyak, said on Twitter that Kyiv had “nothing to do with it” and suggested that an “armed guerrilla movement” had emerged to oppose “a totalitarian country”.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev accused the United States, European Union and United Kingdom, which he referred to as “the sponsors of the Kyiv regime”, of being responsible for “sabotage”. Kyiv’s denial was “an absolute lie”, he said.

Ukrainian news broadcaster Hromadske, citing Ukrainian military intelligence sources, said that two armed Russian opposition groups, the Freedom of Russia Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC), consisting of Russian citizens, were responsible for the attack on the Belgorod region.

Asked about reports that the attackers were ethnic Russians, Peskov said: “They are Ukrainian fighters from Ukraine. There are many ethnic Russians living in Ukraine. But they are still Ukrainian militants.”

What do we know about the anti-Kremlin militias?

The RVC was founded by a far-right Russian national last August and is comprised of Russians who have been fighting in and for Ukraine against their own country.

The group has also been active over the border in Russian territory, and claimed responsibility for a raid there in March.

The Ukrainian military intelligence agency says the RVC is an independent underground group inside Russia that also has a unit in the Ukrainian Foreign Legion. The Foreign Legion says it has nothing to do with the RVC.

Late Monday, the RVC published video footage on its Telegram feed appearing to show fighters operating an armoured vehicle on a country road inside Russia. The Reuters news agency was able to identify one of the men as Ilya Bogdanov, a Russian national who received Ukrainian citizenship in 2015 after fighting for Kyiv against Russian-backed forces in Ukraine’s east.

The Legion and the RVC completely liberated n/a Kozinka, Belgorod Oblast. Forward units have entered Graivoron. Moving on. Russia will be free! — "Liberty of Russia" Legion (@legion_svoboda) May 22, 2023

The Freedom of Russia Legion – also known as the Liberty of Russia Legion – says it was formed in spring 2022 “out of the wish of Russians to fight in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against Putin’s armed gang”.

It says it cooperates with the Ukrainian armed forces and operates under Ukrainian command. It has claimed responsibility for the attack in Belgorod and says it has been fighting in eastern Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military intelligence agency’s spokesperson said on Monday that the attacks in Belgorod only involved Russian citizens and that they were creating a “security zone” to protect Ukrainian civilians. He did not confirm or deny that the forces operating there are a Ukrainian unit.

The Freedom of Russia Legion said on Twitter that it had “completely liberated” the border town of Kozinka in the Belgorod region and its forward units had reached the district centre of Grayvoron, further east.

“Moving on. Russia will be free!” the group wrote.

What’s next?

The attack on Russia has upped the ante and comes just as Moscow announced the capture of Bakhmut, the eastern Ukrainian city levelled by months of fighting.

Kremlin spokesman Peskov cast the attack as an “invasion” of “serious concern”, promising “great efforts in response”.

On Monday, according to Russia’s RIA Novosti, Peskov also said that work was under way to “squeeze out Ukrainian saboteurs from Russian territory”.

According to the UK, the attacks highlight Moscow’s struggles in the war.

“Russia is facing an increasingly serious multi-domain security threat in its border regions with losses of combat aircraft, improvised explosive device attacks on rail lines, and now direct partisan action,” the British defence ministry said.

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Podolyak has said that Kyiv is continuing to monitor reports “with interest” and is “studying the situation.”

The Top 11 Things to Do in Belgorod, Russia

It's likely that you've never heard of Belgorod—and it's understandable. Located in southwestern Russia, on the banks of the Donets river near the border with Ukraine, Belgorod has a population of only a few-hundred thousand, and an industrial aesthetic that largely hearkens back to Soviet times. With this being said, Belgorod is one of Russia's fastest growing cities. It's also almost completely lacking in tourists, which makes it the perfect place to have a truly authentic experience. Read on for the top things to do in this growing city.

Marvel at an 18th-Century Cathedral

The most obvious antidote to the decidedly Soviet aesthetic of Belgorod's city center? That would be Smolensky Cathedral, a beautiful but humble Russian Orthodox church that dates back to the 18th century. Clad in a turquoise-colored paint that looks great during any season and under every light, this is definitely among the top things to do in Belgorod. The cathedral is still open to parishioners daily, allowing visitors to marvel at the interior as well.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Another way to transcend the concrete housing blocks that definite Belgorod's cityscape is to take a more figurative approach. Namely, the lions and tigers and bears that call Belgorod Zoo home are, in spirit if not in reality, a perfect antidote to the feeling of being back in Soviet times, which might occasionally befall you elsewhere.

Have a Scream in Central Park

Known officially, in Russian, as Tsentral'nyy Park Kul'tury I Otdykha Imeni V.i. Lenina, Belgorod's answer to Central Park is neither as grand nor as well-manicured as its New York counterpart. However, this green space isn't just for relaxing. In fact, it's home to a number of roller coasters and other kid-friendly rides, which make it a great spot for the whole family to have a thrill—although you can definitely chill, too.

Watch a Battle Unfold in Miniature

The Battle of Kursk was one of the decisive dramas of World War II for the Soviets in their firsts against Nazi tyranny. The hostile conditions that underlied this battle, which took place not far from Belgorod, have thankfully let up significantly. However, if you visit the aptly-named Belgorod Diorama Museum , you can observe a painstaking model of the battle, from start to finish, that local artists have put together.

Admire Terrific Taxidermy

Belgorod's has an interesting history—and not just related to military conflicts. Belgorod's history, human and animal alike, are on display at the Belgorod State Historical Museum ; including taxidermied bodies of animals that make their home in surrounding Belgorod Oblast.

Learn About Vladimir Mayakovsky

Although the Belgorod Literary Museum features the work of a number of writers, the focal point of its exhibition is Vladimir Mayakovsky, who originally hailed from Georgia for what it's worth. Even if you can't read Russian, it's fascinating to learn about the story of Mayakovsky, who was a renowned writer before the Russian Revolution, and who used his considerable skill to stealthily craft satire about Soviet communism until his death by suicide in 1930.

Enjoy a Lush Botanical Garden

Construction of buildings in Belgorod might've taken a utilitarian approach, but the botanical garden at Belgorod State University is anything but. With expansive exhibitions both outdoors and indoors, which allows plants that couldn't otherwise survive in Russia to bloom and thrive, the garden is a veritable explosion of color and lushness, and a trip there might make you forget exactly where you are.

Travel the World Through Photos

Like much of the rest of Russia, Belgorod has cold, wet and even snowy weather for much of the year. The beautiful exhibitions inside the Belgorod Photo Art Gallery are the perfect way to brighten your day, even if it simply feels dull because you've walked past one too many Soviet buildings. Spanning Russian and the rest of the world, and featuring both contemporary and historical photography, this is a great opportunity to travel the world without leaving Russia.

Discover Different Churches

The aforementioned Smolensky Cathedral is probably the most traditionally Russian counter-example to the Soviet architecture that otherwise dominates the city, but there are other options as well. Churches such as the Church of the Holy Martyrs Faith are particularly atmospheric, as their use of unpainted wood evokes the forests that surround Belgorod city.

Take a Beach Day (if It's Warm)

While it's not a typical beach day, one of the best things to do in Belgorod on a sunny day, is to head to the shores of the Donets River. Aim to visit the portion of the river that forms forms a sort of lake just northeast of the city center. It's is neither tropical nor particularly idyllic, but it's an ideal spot for some R&R by the water.

Continue on to Ukraine—Or Not

Because Belgorod sits near the Russian border with Ukraine, many travelers who pass through the city (and, in spite of all the things to do in Belgorod, many visits are doing just that) are ultimately bound for Ukraine or the Crimean Peninsula. Chances are good that a trip to Ukraine is in your future if Belgorod is as well.
