A Traveler’s Guide to Healthy Options

When traveling, many people often find it difficult to eat healthy. However, there are options that many do not realize are available.

For instance, non-perishable snacks, such as dried fruit and nuts, can be packed for the trip. The next step of eating healthy while traveling is finding alternatives to junk food along the way. In airports, some healthy options may include a whole-grain sandwich with lean meat, a salad with lean protein, a fruit cup, and pre-cut veggies.

Road trip stops have healthy options too. Whether it is a market, sandwich shop, drive-thru, or buffet, healthy foods can be found. When eating at places like these, look for options that include fruits, vegetables, whole-grain bread, and grilled options. Watching portion sizes can also make a big difference when eating at these types of places. 

Along with road trip stops and airports, healthy food can be found in hotels as well. If a mini-fridge is available, snacks like hummus and yogurt can be kept on hand. Hotel breakfasts also have healthier alternatives, such as whole-grain cereal and fruit. 

The last step of having a healthy trip is being safe with food. When traveling out of the country, avoid drinking tap water and eating raw produce. Instead, drink bottled water and eat foods that are safe for consumption. Safe foods might include fruits with peels and well-cooked meat. 

Although it may seem impossible to eat healthy while traveling, there is almost always some type of healthy alternative that can be found!
