Best Non-Perishable Foods for Travel
When planning a trip, think of tasty, nutritional, non-perishable foods you can enjoy. A few suggestions might be:
- Fresh Fruit – firm fruit is best like a whole apple so it will not get smashed.
- Nuts or homemade trail mix
- Bars (protein bars, fruit/nut bars, natural fruit bars, or granola bars)
- Dried fruit
- Pretzels in a sealed container or bag to avoid getting smashed
- Popcorn chips
Travel-friendly perishable foods
Another option in traveling with your own prepared food sources are travel-friendly perishable foods that will still keep you from spending too much $$$ in fast food and traditional restaurants:
- Vegetables like carrots and broccoli tossed in olive oil or dipped in almond butter
- Hard boiled eggs (pre-peeled)
- Pre-cooked roasted sweet potatoes
- Meats like shrimp, chicken, or beef pre-cooked and cut into strips
- Single serving packs of guacamole and healthy but tasty chips
- Slices of raw milk cheeses
(Store perishable foods in airtight containers)
Best Food to Eat Before Air Travel (Eating before and during a long flight).
Before and during a short or long air flight, suggested small meals might include:
- Nut butter and bread or toast
- Hummus
- Small sandwiches and wraps
- Tuna
- Quinoa
- Brown rice
- Chia seeds
- Crackers
- Smoothies
- Drink lots of water
(A consumed full meal and unforeseen air turbulence aren’t a friendly mix)
