Top tips to eat healthy on the road
Read below and find 5 ways to improvise and make the best possible choices when traveling and eat healthy on the road:
- Carry Health Snacks: Pack non-perishable items like nut butter packets, wild canned fish, nuts and seeds, filtered water. Visit our Pinterest Board for even more Grab-and-Go-Snack ideas.
- Bring a Cooler: Fill it with bite size pieces of celery, carrots, radishes, cucumbers, avocados, hardboiled eggs, apples, and berries. Don’t forget to put a 70% organic raw dark chocolate bar if you have a sweet tooth.
- Grocery Shop Online: Place an Amazon or Thrive Market order before you leave and have it reach your destination. Load up on the essentials like cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, fresh fruit, nuts and seeds and their butters, and coconut oil.
- Research Grocery and Health Food Stores before you leave: Find out where they are located and if they have foods that suit your diet. Remember that even though fresh vegetables and fruits may not be available, you can always get frozen ones. Read all labels to make sure that items that you are purchasing don’t contain unnecessary ingredients, like hydrogenated oils and unpronounceable preservatives. Remember that canned lentils and beans can really help in a pinch.
- Eating Out: Research restaurants and peruse their menus before you go. Find out in advance if they serve foods for your specific diet needs. As a rule of thumb, the fancier the restaurant, the likelier they are to cater a meal to your needs. Even if you don’t see the perfect meal listed on the menu, look at the sides offering and ask the waiter for suggestions. Speak-up and share what you’re looking for.
