Tim Grismer
Maintaining a healthy diet while traveling can be challenging, but with a little planning and mindfulness, you can enjoy your vacation without straying too far from your nutrition goals. In a recent blog post by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, tips for staying on track while enjoying some vacation treats are highlighted. Here are some key takeaways:
  • Plan ahead: Consider your travel logistics and what meal prep tools (like a mini-fridge or microwave) might be available.
  • Bring healthy snacks: Opt for non-perishable options like nuts, dried fruit, or granola bars, and perishable snacks like yogurt and hummus if you have a cooler.
  • Start the day right: A balanced breakfast with whole grains, protein, and fruit can keep you energized and satisfied.
  • Stay flexible: Don’t worry about sticking strictly to your usual routine. Indulge in a few treats, but be mindful of which ones matter most to you.
