Quick Travel
Snacks
Pack a variety of easy snacks in
your carryon bag in the event that you can’t find healthy snacks in
the airport, train station, or hotel when you arrive. It’s easy to
forget just how many options there are:
- Fresh veggies: carrot sticks,
celery, broccoli and cauliflower.
- Dehydrated vegetables: sweet
potatoes, white potatoes with salt and vinegar, zucchini, and
yellow squash.
- Fresh fruits: a banana and
grapes for the plane/train/car; apples, oranges, and pears
packed in your bag.
- Dried fruits: dried apricots,
apples, and pears; raisins, prunes, figs and dates.
- Nuts, but keep to a minimum
and try to soak them the night before.
At hotels, order plenty of
fruit for breakfast, double portions of salad for dinner, and
request olive oil and vinegar or a light vinaigrette dressing. Eat
until you’re full—and stay well away from those french fries!
Most restaurants will
happily create something for you if you ask. If not go somewhere
else or settle for the salad. Alternatively pop into a grocery store
and buy a few avocados, or an apple and orange and a red pepper to
brighten any salad order. Don't be shy to add it to your food right
in the restaurant!
