Healthy Snacks for Travelling
Happy Monday!
I’ve recently travelled, and I thought I’d give you some ideas of healthy snacks to bring with you. This also works as a snack to bring with you to work, to uni, or anywhere you go.
It’s usually hard to find healthy, nutritious snacks when you’re out, for example in an airport or on the flight. They might have a “diet” or “healthy” section, but it’s normally a pasta salad, a juice, or a wrap, and many times not even whole grain in the pasta or wrap. It’s also usually pretty expensive, and you’ll end up paying a lot for something that is not even that healthy. I always try to bring snacks with me, because I get hungry very quickly after a meal, and I don’t like to let too much time pass between my meals. I also don’t wanna eat all carbs, salt, and sugar (which are the easiest things to find), since it’s already easy to feel bloated while traveling, and it’s also very easy to get dehydrated.
Anyway, I thought I’d give you some ideas for what snacks to bring with you, or what you could look for in the airport or the flight menu. This is based on my own preference, and might not match everyones diet or goals, but these are some options for you to get inspired when you’re looking for healthy snacks that are easy to bring with you.
Healthy Snacks for Traveling:
- Protein bars
- Protein powder (preferably in a sample bag / 1 serving package so no one thinks you’re bringing something illegal haha)
- Fruits; banana, apple (sliced if you don’t want to deal with the remains), cut up fruits of your liking
- Veggies; cut up carrots, cucumber, cherry tomatoes or whatever you like snacking on
- Nuts/almonds; unsalted
- Had boiled eggs (I wouldn’t bring this since I don’t like eggs unfortunately , but it’s a great source of protein to bring on the go! Might be a smelly choice though haha)
- Beef jerky; also great source of protein, just make sure it’s clean and doesn’t contain lots of additives and sugar that you don’t need
- Energy balls or protein balls; you can make them yourself at home (like my chocolate balls for example!) or buy in certain stores or cafes that have organic/clean/raw/vegan stuff
- Natural juices or smoothies; you can usually find these at the airport but make sure to check the ingredients
- Greek yogurt or quark (check the amount if you’re traveling so you don’t get into troubles in the airport!)
- Rice cakes (if you want you can spread a nut butter and make a sandwich! I normally also add sliced banana or apple to make it less dry)
- WATER!!! Super important to make sure to stay hydrated, and especially if you’re going by plane
It’s always so disappointing how the healthier options are pretty pricey, because it makes people turn away from eating healthier. But this list seems pretty affordable and easy! I love dipping berries in greek yoghurt. We can freeze them so it might be easier on a plane as well!
I know, the healthy options are always pricier and harder to find while you’re out and about! That’s why I always try and plan my snacks beforehand.. I love the frozen berry idea! Sounds really yummy too 🙂
