Traveling and Staying Healthy on a Vegan Diet

There are many healthy ways to order your foods if you find yourself in an airport and not knowing what you can eat safely on a vegan diet.  I recommend many Mexican restaurants because they seem to have black beans and rice along with salads sometimes with lemon and lime slices and guacamole, which is a good alternative if you are trying to stay vegan while traveling.  Another way of keeping healthy on your journey is to plan ahead and make sure you have lots of fruits and vegetables handy.  We like to pack little ziploc bags filled with grapes or grape tomatoes to snack on when we are on road trips.  However, when you are flying, it is not always easy with all of the regulations to have these same snacks.  I recommend staying hydrated and avoiding the processed and packaged foods as much as possible.

Always ask for water every time they offer drinks on your flight.  This will help you to stay hydrated and avoid some of the cravings for candies and other temptations.  I am a travel agent for international adopting families and missionaries, so I am very accustomed to ordering meals for my customers.  It is fairly easy to stay vegan with all of the options out there.  Most airlines will even allow you to choose a vegan meal if you order at least 24 hours prior to departure.  They will need time to prepare your food for you, so make sure you don't wait too long to place your order online.  If in doubt, make sure you have some handy and super yummy Survivor Bars from Hallelujah Acres in times like these!  There are even some handy little mixing bottles on their website for traveling with your barley max, so that you can continue to have some green juices during your trip!  Please feel free to shop away at www.hacres.com and find those handy treats that will make your vegan traveling a breeze!
