Healthy at the Airport

How expensive is airport food, amirite??

But with so much time spent at the airport waiting for your flight, I don't know about you, but I get hungry! Or today, for instance, I didn't have time for lunch between teaching & getting to the airport.

So, this morning, I threw together my go-to "salad-in-a-bag" & had it waiting in the fridge to grab & pack.

Hear me out!

In a bag at home:

• -Spinach
• -Other veggies & toppings of choice
• (For me today, that was a sweet potato & vegan cheese)
• -Ground turkey
• -Bit of olive oil & spices (turmeric!)

Literally threw it all in, shook it up, grabbed a 🍴 we had in the pantry, & I was set.

At the airport, yes, after security (you can bring food-- make sure you do!), I sat away from people (covid-safe), & had a delicious, nourishing salad!

Checking prices at the airport, those tiny little pieces of chicken thrown in some iceberg lettuce cost $13 😯

I always pack extra snacks when traveling. Save money, keeps me healthy, and you know all of that talk about digestive issues when traveling? The more water, healthy foods, and movement you can add in, the less you need to worry about that, too.

Some of my go-to snacks I pack:

• apples
• bananas
  
• trail mix (homemade-- that way none of those 'oils added' nuts or 'sugar added' dried fruits
  
• RX bars and/or the Target version
  
• Jerky sticks (checking ingredients before buying)
  
• Rice cakes if I have space
  
• When not flying, protein shakes. When flying, the protein powder to then make my own!
  

Have you tried any of the above? How do you add healthy eating into your travels?
