I left bright and early this morning for a trip to New Zealand. I know a lot of people (including me) struggle to eat healthy while travelling so I thought I would show you what food I’m bringing along.
I probably went a little bit overboard in the food department. For the first week of my trip I’m going to be travelling around to small towns and doing a lot of hiking so I wanted to have lots of ready-to-eat food handy. For the second week I’ll be at a conference in Auckland so I’m sure i wont have any problems finding good food there. But, i usually find getting enough protein with breakfast can be a challenge so I really wanted to bring enough protein powder to have some with breakfast each day.
So here is what I brought:
- Vega Shake and Go Smoothie in chocolate flavour
- 20 servings of Sun Warrior brown rice protein in chocolate flavour (I find this one is actually palatable when mixed with water)
- Dried mango and golden berried
- Almonds and pistachios
- Chia seeds
- Cliff, Builder, Luna and Lara bars (4 of each)
- Kale chips
- Raw chocolate banana bites (a modification of Gena’s recipe)
As I mentioned above, I plan to have a protein shake with breakfast each day. I’m going to make chia pudding with the chia seeds and Vega. I brought along an empty nut butter jar and a spork for mixing and serving the shakes and puddings.
I have a 10 hour layover in Vancouver today so check back later for some vegan food highlights from Vancouver!
