We're coming up on summer and whether you're going on vacation, a business trip, or something completely different, you're going to appreciate some quick and easy healthy food ideas.
These pointers can help you stay on track and help you bring, and find real food.
And while these suggestions can all be used right here at home, they're especially important when you're traveling. Traveling can throw your regular healthy habits off when you're skipping time zones or even just being in a different place. As a health coach, I have to admit that I have such a sense of pride when my clients skip junky convenience foods! Let me give you some great strategies that can help you do this while you're "on the road." And be sure to click below to download "The Complete Guide to Dining Out."
My new guide helps you make smart choices whenever you go out to eat, because I know how hard it can be!
Pro Tip:When booking your hotel room, ask if you can have one with a mini-fridge. This will help you store some of your healthy snacks and groceries while you’re there.
Be sure and have fun with it, too! Our family did some extensive traveling several years ago, and within a week of being in Australia, we were invited to a Hangi out on a co-op type of property, by someone we were talking to at the local health food store. A Hangi is traditionally a New Zealand Maori way of cooking in a pit using heated rocks, but this was in the Tablelands of Queensland.
We met some great people while helping to prepare a delicious meal. You never know what opportunities you might come across if you're open while traveling. Bringing Your Own Healthy SnacksThis is really important because not only will it keep you from becoming a "hungry junk seeker," but it can also hold you off until you're able to stop at a proper grocery store for some actual real food. If you're traveling by plane, you're a little more limited to what you can bring. Mostly you have to say no the fresh foods. Be sure to check the rules before you fly.
Here are some of my favorite on-the-go snacks to have on hand in your bag or cooler:
