We have not taken a family trip since before we went to a Plant-Based Diet. A lot of the fun of our trips was related to food. We would pack a ton of snacks and stop at gas stations and buy tons more. Once we little one’s came along we had to be intentional about buy them healthy and kid friendly snacks because there was no way I would feed my precious babies the garbage we were eating. 😉
Another tradition that will continue is making a freezing PB&J’s or AB&J’s. They slowly defrost throughout the day for a quick and timely lunch. We pack easy to eat fruit and crackers, dried fruit and trail mix has always been a big hit with us.Â
This year we will take Go Go squeeZ. GoGo squeeZ is applesauce in little handy pouches, I know you’ve seen them. They are easy to use because they require no dishes, perfect for my 3 year old. (They are a much better deal at Costco so if you have a membership buy them there instead of a regular store.) Additionally they are all natural and gluten, nut, and dairy free.
I’ll share my experience of traveling with kids and eating a Plant-Based diet in a few weeks, but for now I seek your advice. What would you take on a trip?
If you follow My Plant-Based Family on Facebook you will get to see how it is going in real time because somethings are just to funny to wait.Â
Love that apple sauce – looks great for traveling! We always pack lots of fruit and veggies for road trips along with bagels or sandwiches. Some of the most fun memories are of munching in the car together as we drive!
Funny how snacking is such a part of road trips. Even for trips into OKC (2 hours), I bring food! I’ve never tried freezing PB&Js, great idea!
