10 Favorite Meals to Take Traveling

Food that can be packed and taken with you when you are going to be traveling can result in significant savings and, in many cases, save time by allowing you to eat something you enjoy whenever you are hungry. Over the years, I've discovered that my preference is 'anything but a sandwich' and I've started almost always opting for reusable containers rather than disposable. I also tend to like to package my meal so I can eat it all at once or as several snacks. Use good sense if you are traveling by air and pack items that can be easily accepted through the security checkpoint (i.e. no liquids or gels). My favorite meals when traveling are:

 

  1. A container of small tomatoes, carrots and celery along with a tub of peanut butter (the small tubs of peanut butter can be purchased or you can make your own with small containers)
  2. A container of plain yogurt with some fresh fruit  and chopped pecans on top
  3. An apple with piece of favorite cheese
  4. A pumpkin/pecan muffin
  5. A small piece of dark chocolate, a few whole almonds, 2 dried apricots
  6. A peanut butter and jelly burrito
  7. A piece of crustless quiche
  8. Apple crisp with a piece of cheese
  9. Carrot, pineapple, raisin salad with marmalade/olive oil dressing
  10. A few mixed nuts with a pear

 

You probably have noticed that these are light meals. I feel better if I eat less when I travel. How about you?
