Traveling is always a huge challenge for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet. If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, things can get even more complicated. If you’re having trouble sticking to your vegan or vegetarian diet on a trip, check out these tips that can make your travels easier.

Download Apps

HappyCow and PlantEaters are amazing apps that can help you do some quick research and find the vegetarian and vegan restaurants in your area, wherever you go. You can even lookup menus for some restaurants, so use these apps to make your trips easier.

Bring Snacks

You definitely don’t have enough room in your suitcase to bring food for the entire trip, but you can always pack some snacks to have for emergencies. Dried fruit, energy bars, or kale chips are more than enough until you find other options in your destination.

Hit the Farmer’s Market

You can easily locate the farmer’s market even before you arrive at your destination. This is the perfect place to find fresh fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients you’ll need to make your meals. Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity to meet the locals and experience their culture.

A lot of cultures and families like to enjoy a cup of tea after sitting down for a meal. However, this may actually not be the best thing to do for your body. Surprisingly, all teas, even herbal teas, as well as coffee, have a compound in them called polyphenols. This compound isn’t inherently bad for you, but after a meal, it can really hurt your nutrient absorption.

What polyphenols do is to block the absorption of iron in the body. This is really significant because a lot of people that follow a vegetarian or vegan diet already have trouble getting enough iron in their diet as it is. This also goes for people who are on their period, since the loss of blood also leads to lower iron levels.

Luckily, people who eat a diet that’s high in red meat don’t have to worry as much. However, if you’re not one of these people, you might want to consider swapping your tea or coffee for another drink after a big meal. If you like to feeling of drinking something warm, especially after a large meal, opt for something simple like warm water with lemon juice or even warm water on its own after a meal to help with digestion.

Between work or school and having a social life, it can seem really difficult to eat healthy on a regular basis. However, if you have a couple of kitchen essentials, you can make your life a lot easier and healthier.

Slow Cooker

Having a slow cooker can guarantee you a hot meal when you arrive home from work every day if you choose! The great thing about a slow cooker is that it can stay on all day while you’re away, which is a lot safer than an oven. Just put in all the ingredients in the morning, switch it on, and come home to the best smelling house on the block.

Food Processor

This might seem a little intimating to some people, but in reality, a food processor will help you eat healthier in so many ways. You can use it to make smoothie bowls, homemade dips and hummus, and basically anything you don’t want to mix or chop by hand, a food processor will do for you.

Microplane

This small tool might not seem essential, but it actually does help in the long run. If you want to add garlic, ginger, a citrus zest, and more, to any of your cooking, this little tool will help do that in just a few seconds. All of these ingredients are also really healthy additions to food that will make anything lighter and healthier.
