Food prep! Oh boy. How easy is it to grab something unhealthy when you’re on the go? When I’m travelling, I always get so tempted to eat something from the many restaurants/cafes you find in an airport. Because well, all I have to do is wait, right?
Therefore I always make sure to food prep in advance for longer journeys. Because my flight for this particular food-prep is only one and a half hour long I’ll be leaving with salty almonds and a lovely mix of berries. But did you know that you can actually travel with a lot of food items? Carrot/cucumber/celery sticks, peanut butter (counts as liquid though) fruit, even stuff like salads and sandwiches. Of course, always check with the regulations but as me travelling from UK-Denmark I’m all good to go with my little healthy snacks.
P.s Please consider your fellow passengers, so don’t bring anything that smells too much XD
These spicy nuts are so delicious and crunchy. They’re perfect for the little hunger, on the go or you can even add them in curries for extra flavour 🙂
No more store-bought flavoured nuts for you.
