Good morning!
I am happy to see there are a lot of NCIS fans out there. ;)
I have been a busy bee this morning trying to get some bakery orders out.
Around 8am, I took a break for a delicious and filling breakfast made up of cherry banana soft serve and chocolate protein vegan overnight oats. Yum.
The flower wanted some too!
Last night I did some packing for our Paris trip…naturally, I started with the foodie products. ;)
I always bring Amazing Grass Wheatgrass powder (top baggie) and samples whenever possible.
I use coconut oil on my skin before bed, so I thought this Artisana sample would be a great travel supply. :) I am also bringing a big bag of Glo Bars that my mom, sister, and I can all share and pop into our purses for a quick on-the-go snack. I also think I might bring some samples of nut butter too. They would make great snacks to pair with apples! When we arrive, we are hoping to find a local market where we can pick up some fruit to keep in our hotel room.
Do you bring foodie items with you when you travel? Do you ever bring anything that others think is ‘strange’ or ‘unusual’?
I always bring food with me, I just can’t help it. I wish I had a shrink ray to bring my vitamix and my juicer with me places too.
For our 2 week trip to the carribean I brough amazing grass (the energy one!) and a box of cliff mojo bars in peanut butter pretzel as well as some McDougall soup cups. I REALLY wish I would have brough some chocolate, I couldn’t find any good chocolate without milk in it.
I hear there are lots of produce stands in Paris!
Always. I wanted to bring my vitamix, almond milk, amazing grass and bananas in my suitcase when I went to Rhode Island this summer. My husband put his foot down and said I was starting to cross the line with the packing of appliances and what have you. I pack almost any type of food I can get away with though!
love the coconut oil idea but what do you use to cleanse with first?
I’m sure you have been asked this question a trillion times but how do you get the oats to layer so beautifully? Almond milk first?
I always layer with the banana soft serve first…then push it down with my spoon to spread out, then repeat with the VOO layer. ;)
i TOTALLY travel with food stuffs! pb, protein mixes…i love packing “staples” to have as needed. i even have been known to smuggle produce and fruit in my suitcase – sh!
Ive heard of people using coconut oil on their face! I am a huge fan of natural beauty products so Im going to give this a shot! Thanks for the tip! P.S. Oats look amazing! Anything with banana soft serve is phenomonal!
I pretty much just bring clothes and Kashi bars in case I get hungry between meals. They aren’t the best when it comes to ingredients, but the rolls are REALLY filling and taste just like candy bars. Helps me to not overindulge in other sweet things.
I always bring larabars with me wherever I go. I have low blood sugar, so its nice to know that if I get caught in a situation when my blood sugar dives, I have a healthy way to get it back up.
I’ve often thought that if I ever give into my parents and move to Israel, I’ll have to bring a SUITCASE full of chia seeds, because supposedly you can’t get them there! You also can’t get creamed corn, oddly enough, and I know my Mum misses it.
what a fun trip to be packing for!! would you mind packing me as well? pretty please…
your vegan overnight oats look so dreamy this a.m. i haven’t had them in a very long time!
I always pack food when I travel. When I was in China in June I brought a cup of noodles with me on the train (naturally, EVERYONE brings cups of noodles on the train with them in China) and some veggies to throw in the mix. As I snapped green beans into my cup I got the craziest looks, people even nudged their traveling companions and took pictures with their phones! It’s fine to gnaw on a shrink wrapped chicken foot but putting veggies into your noodles is nuts!
I always bring a LARA bar or two, and generally some bread and peanut butter. Sometimes a banana. That way I’m set in case we’re stuck somewhere and I can’t find anywhere I want to eat. I’m so excited for you for your trip! I’m sure your traveling companions will appreciate the glo-bar stash your bringing along.
It’s great to be prepared in the food department. You can always bring it home. But having it on hand will save the day.
Aww, the soft serve matches that beautiful flower! What a pretty colour to wake up to!
Angela, I have a question for you! Where did you purchase your knee sleeves? I’m having some knee pain now that my milage is higher (I’m a newbie runner and almost up to 6 miles!). I want to try a sleeve but don’t want to buy a random brand.
Thanks! :)
I got them at shoppers
goodluck with your running!!!
hehe I am GUILTY!!! I always take a big bag of my foodies stashes with me!
coconut oil is good for your hair as well! those voos look great today- if i were the flower i’d want some too :)
KIND bars – love these and they’re so easy to pack and take along. I used to bring Lara Bars, but then I found out they sold the company to General Mills, and that kind of turned me off a bit. I sometimes bring the Amazing Grass sample size packets too. It’s nice to have a familiar back up especially when you enjoyed the cheese just a little too much :)
Angela, I just tried Barney Butter for the first time this weekend. WOW! Now I know why you love it so much. I am eating it non-stop and I haven’t shared with anyone, it is all mine!
YUM YUM!
Apple Cider Vinegar. I like my oatmeal tangy and to have that little kick. So I travel with a little jar of vinegar and people think it’s odd.
I almost always have some type of bar in my purse. You never know when you might need it! People make fun of me, but they when theyre hungry and Im the one with the food, all of a sudden its not such a bad idea.
