It’s the summer season and many are finally taking their long-awaited vacations. When planning for a trip, we often focus on accommodations and activities, but neglect to plan for healthy eating on the go. Eating well while traveling can be challenging, but with some thoughtful preparation, it can be done.
Here are some simple tips to help you stay on track with your healthy eating habits while traveling:
1. Pack healthy snacks in your carry-on.
Bringing along nutritious snacks such as power bars, trail mix, and dried fruit can help keep your energy levels up and prevent impulsive food choices when hunger strikes. Consider carrying some extra snacks to keep in your hotel room as well.
2. Bring along a selection of teas.
Carrying a variety of teas such as stress-relief, lavender, chamomile, echinacea, and ginger can be beneficial for different purposes, including relaxation, immune support, and digestion.
3. Visit a local grocery store.
Upon arrival, take the time to locate nearby grocery stores. Stocking up on healthy snacks, fruits, yogurts, and pressed juices can make it easier to eat healthily during your trip, especially if your hotel room has a refrigerator.
