The 6 Best Body Ecology Travel Snacks for Your Vacation

Summer’s in full swing, and many are off to their favorite vacation spots.

On Body Ecology’s Facebook fan page, Monica K. asks:

Any tips for healthy travel snacks?

Great question, Monica!

How to Make Your Own Body Ecology Travel Kit

One disappointing aspect of most restaurant food is that poor quality oils and salt are ubiquitous. Often, our choices are to eat bland food or use the condiments offered at the restaurant (and maybe suffer the consequences later).

Fortunately, you can pack a Body Ecology travel kit and avoid this dilemma.

Try filling leak-proof travel bottles with:

• Organic, extra-virgin olive oil
• Organic pumpkin seed oil
• Organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
• Stevia Liquid Concentrate
• Celtic sea salt
• Coconut aminos (a great soy sauce alternative)

The Top 6 Healthy Travel Snacks

Here’s a list of some of our favorite travel snacks:

1. Vegetables: Toting along a bag of sliced veggies is easy to do and takes only a minute to prepare in the kitchen. Try carrots, celery, and radish. You can make their natural flavors pop with a squeeze of lime juice.

2. Fruit: Pack sliced sour green apples with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Sour dried fruits like bing cherries, black currants, or golden berries are an easy and quick snack. Make sure your dried fruits are not packaged with added sugar and remember to enjoy dried sour fruits alone and on an empty stomach.

3. Seeds and Nuts: Soaked almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds with a dash of Celtic sea salt, a squeeze of lime, and a pinch of paprika make an easy, delicious, and filling snack.

4. Protein: Vital Choice offers canned salmon and sardines, which are great to roll in lettuce leaves with cultured vegetables. If you have a cooler, try Vital Choice’s Sockeye Salmon Nova, rich in omega-3 fats. Vital Choice is committed to a pure and sustainable product.

5. Vitality SuperGreen and Super Spirulina Plus: Add a scoop of Vitality SuperGreen and Super Spirulina Plus with a few drops of Stevia Liquid Concentrate to water and shake for a boost of protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential fats. If you have a cooler, pack a bottle of InnergyBiotic or coconut water kefir.

6. Zucchini Chips: Check out the simple recipe below, prepared with milk kefir, for those on Stage 2 of the Body Ecology Diet.
