healthy holiday snacking for the road....

I know that many of you are going to be traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday & thought I would share some of my ideas (shown above) for healthy snacks for the road (or flight)!

Preparing a container of primarily plant based snacks is not only going to satisfy your hunger until you arrive at your family or friends home but it's also going to give you an alkalizing energy boost prior to the holiday feasting you may or may not be doing (we all will be doing)!

I typically take a large container and fill it with any or all of the following:

• Organic Tomatoes w/ a sprinkle of sea salt.  This is a simple & delish snack to munch on in the car or plane.  And tomatoes are really good for you - learn about the benefits here.
• Because no one in my family eats plant based, I put a hearty sandwich in my container & typically eat it in the car about a half hour prior to arriving.  I love using Ezekiel bread, organic spinach, a slice of tofurkey and Veganaise. It's so insanely delicious & filling!
  
• Raw Almonds. I typically soak them overnight & then sprinkle with turmeric. If you have never used turmeric on almonds, do try - so so good!
• Organic Fuji Apples are easy so, I cut into slices and toss it in and if persimmons are in season (which they are right now), I put one in too. Have you ever had one? You must! Make sure to choose the ones that are the most squishy! I actually like persimmons now more than cake or cookies.  The best dessert!
• And this year, I will be stopping at Jus Juus to grab a bottle of 'The Hulk' (basically various greens) to sip on while I am on the road.
  

And that's really it! I throw my container in my tote and off I go! I love taking care of my body and I need no further convincing that eating an alkalizing diet is the best decision I can possibly make. 

Be good to your body this holiday season! What are your ideas for healthy snacks on the road?
