Let’s face it, eating healthfully on the road can be one of life’s great challenges. With fast food restaurants everywhere, convenience stores with an overabundance of processed foods, standard airport fare, coffee and so-called healthy smoothie bars, healthy food options can be very hard to find. To prepare for the big trip, try the following to help navigate some of the common pitfalls of travel dining:
Check the internet to locate restaurants offering more vegetarian, vegan and raw food dishes in your travel area.
Happycow.net is a good start!
Pick up some of the following snacks to enjoy on your journey and satisfy cravings: organic raw nuts, seeds or nut butters, organic or natural trail mixes (with no added sugar or oils), hummus or salsa with fresh vegetable sticks or organic corn chips with sea salt, fresh fruit, raw food snacks by Gopals (found in health food stores or online) and a small travel sized container of natural, unprocessed sea salt.
Stay at a local bed and breakfast that offers more vegetarian, vegan or raw options or a residence inn style lodging that you can prepare your own meals
Bring along a portable water filter container. There are many available online @ http://www.purewater2go.com/
All in all, by preparing in advance for the big trip and using some of the ideas listed above, you will feel more empowered about what goes into your body and that will take your health a long way.
And that makes for a much more enjoyable journey!
