Regardless of how well you eat when you are at home, it’s easy to fall into the trap of eating poorly when you travel. The most convenient options are usually not very healthy.
Here are five healthy snacks that are portable and don’t require refrigeration:
1.Nuts (i.e. almonds, cashews, pecans, peanuts, etc.)
2. Fresh fruits and vegetables that are firm (i.e., apples and carrots).
3. Organic, grass-fed jerky. Beware of jerky that is high in sodium or that contains added sugar and artificial ingredients.
4. 100% coconut water (my go-to liquid for making healthy protein shakes at home or on the road)
5. Unflavored protein powder (a much better choice than flavored protein powders because those typically contain added sugar and artificial preservatives)
If you plan to make smoothies during travel, bring a portable blender like a Magic Bullet (what I use) since it’s much smaller than a typical blender and won’t take up much space in your luggage.
