Healthy Travel Tips:
Be prepared- always have food and water with you so that you aren't quick to make a bad choice. Some of Julie’s favorite foods to travel with are salads, saving the plastic containers that your lettuce comes in or put your salad in a gallon ziplock bag. Remember to keep your salad dressing separate so that your lettuce doesn't get wilted. The small disposable condiment containers can be found near the sandwich bags or aluminum foil.
For protein, wild caught tuna is great (Wild Planet or Safe Catch are good brands), leftover chicken works well also. For a plant-based protein, consider chickpeas, lentils, quinoa, or hemp seeds.
Keeping a small bottle of olive oil in your purse and asking for fresh lemon at a restaurant makes a good healthy salad dressing :)
Using those to condiment containers are a great way to store snacks like nut butter and mixed nuts.
Fruit that does not require refrigeration such as apples, oranges, peaches or bananas is another great traveling snack.
Veggies like mini carrots and peppers are good to snack on with hummus or guacamole.
Crackers are good to eat as well with your salad, hummus or guacamole.
Julie's homemade trail mix: raisins or dried cranberries, mixed nuts, and chocolate chips.
If you are taking a cooler, freeze some yogurt pops, such as Stonyfield. Julie also recommends Siggis brand for a traditional dairy yogurt and Kite Hill for dairy free alternative. Make sure that you also have water bottles in the cooler too.
If you are going on a long road trip and you are trying to make good choices, consider putting your snacks out of arms reach so that you are not just snacking to snack.
For hotel travel, Julie takes a small cooler and uses the hotel's mini-fridge and free ice. As far as the continental breakfast, boiled eggs with some Everything But The Bagel seasoning (carry with you) sprinkled on top with hot sauce are a fav. Yogurt and fruit from the breakfast bar is also another good option.
For air travel, make sure that you have a stainless steel water bottle and your favorite essential oils to stay hydrated.
