Hey Ya’ll I am getting ready to travel on Monday and It’s a challenge to eat healthy when you travel. Whether you’re traveling for work or vacation here are some tips to help you stay on track and feeling your best mentally and physically.

• First get prepared for the flight. Here is a list of foods you can carry on the flight.
• 4 Foods to fly with
• Homemade sandwiches or premade salads are the way to go if you’re looking for a mid-flight meal – And you can include your favorite dressing as long as it’s in a 3.4 oz. or smaller container. Also remember not to use foil to wrap your sandwich, because that just might set off the x-ray and add an unwanted delay to your travel.
• Veggies such as carrots, celery, and broccoli paired with your choice of dip (hummus, ranch or salsa) are a good and super healthy snack food. Dips are okay as long as they are in a 3.4 oz (or smaller) container.
• Fresh fruit such as apples, bananas, or grapes is a good way to satisfy that sweet tooth while maintaining even blood sugar levels. This is especially good if like me you like to work while you fly.
• Healthy crunchy treats such as kale chips, popcorn or nuts are great to snack on during your flight. You can make your own trail mix or if you purchase a bag just make sure it’s not loaded with inflammatory oils or other not so good for you additives. Best nuts for your health, almonds,

• Another Tip is to prepare a “Grab and Go”

o   ( Literally, have a bag pre-packed for trips) This bag of goodies is perfect for your entire trip. In the Airport, Cab, Hotel room, exploring a new city.

o   These items are perfect for your bag. You can find these items at Whole Foods:

o   Luna Bars, Fruits, Dried Fruits, Trail Mix, Kind bars

o   Single Packet Protein Powders – these are great for on-the-go protein shakes! Bring your water Blender bottle on the plane, ask for water add the power and your being healthy on the plane!

o   Justin’s Nut Butter – these are single packaged almond butter that is so delicious to pair with bananas!

o   The last tip is to Call The Hotel ahead of time

 

• Ask if you have a mini fridge if not ask them to clean out the mini bar and use it as a fridge. Make a trip to the market and stock up on these healthy foods:

o   hard boiled eggs

o   fruits

o   vegetables

o   Ezekial Bread – so great for your body, it has no flour and has more healthy grains than most bread!

o   GURU Organic Energy Drink – this is great for that organic pick-me-up to start your day!

• If your gonna have a cheat day do it on the last day, that way you’ve made it the whole time eating healthy and you can reward yourself with a treat at the end of your trip.
• Remind yourself that traveling is about all the experiences not just food. Make some beautiful new memories and enjoy yourself.

• Remind yourself that traveling is about all the experiences not just food. Make some beautiful new memories and enjoy yourself.
