How to eat organic on vacation
Worried about maintaining an organic lifestyle while traveling? To make it easy, we’ve put together some tips to keep you on track.
Hit the Road: Traveling by road or flying? Prepare for takeoff by packing a cooler with your favorite organic snacks and a stash of dry goods like trail mix, jerky, snack bars and our No Sugar Added Juice Boxes. This will help you avoid the temptation to stop at gas stations or airport restaurants.
Freshly Picked: Make it a point to stop by farmers markets, supermarkets, or organic farms along your route. If you’re flying and can’t bring your own food, research local farmers’ markets and grocery options at your destination. You can also look up restaurants that offer organic options and call ahead to confirm their hours and menu!
Before You Book: Plan ahead by calling your accommodation ahead of time to ask about their policies on food allergies and special dietary needs. Choose hotels or bed and breakfasts that cater to organic eaters or opt for a hotel room with a kitchen so you can prepare your own meals.
Dry Goods: Another hack for staying organic on the go is packing dry staples like pasta, teas, coffee, cereals, and snack bars. These easy-to-pack items can provide a healthy base for your meals and snacks while you’re away. Plus, they’re perfect for stashing in a purse or backpack while you’re on your adventure.
Label Savvy: To make informed choices while eating out, use resources like Just Label It’s website and EWG’s Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in Produce to learn more about genetically engineered and pesticide-treated foods. This way, you can make smart choices that align with your organic lifestyle.
