Easy and Healthy Meals You Can Prepare While on Vacation

It’s no mystery that trying to be healthy on a vacation is more than troublesome. You’ll be accosted by greasy meals, and easily accessible junk food. However, there is still hope if you’re looking to maintain your healthy lifestyle while you’re out enjoying your time off. Whipping up something quick and healthy is almost as easy as reaching out and grabbing that snack food in front of you, and we’ve included a few ideas to keep your belly full on your travels. 

Pear Sandwiches? Oh My!

If you’re looking for something that will fill up your stomach while you’re eating healthy on your vacation, look no farther than a pear sandwich. You might want a method of toasting your bread for this one. Slice up some pears, and spread some cream cheese on your toasted bread, then throw some crushed walnuts into the mix. You’ll be getting the polyunsaturated fats from walnuts, and phytochemicals plus vitamin C from the pear. The fullness of the cream cheese will keep you satisfied and compliment the sweetness of the pears. This is any easy to throw together sandwich that your body will thank you for consuming. Also, a vegetarian meatloaf you will ever eat. Full of lentils, vegetables, and savory goodness.

Spinach, Asparagus And Strawberry Salad

Whoever said that they don’t like spinach? This delightful dish is sure to be kind to both your waist and your heart. You’ll just want to make sure you have cooked asparagus on your travel and stored fresh. This will be something you will want to enjoy during your first few days on your vacation. Strawberries add a perfect sweetness, and you can even make the choice to add almonds or goat cheese to the mix. The cooking professionals at Simple Green Moms have the detailed recipe, as well as other healthy options.

Spice Up The Traditional Oatmeal Cereal

Oatmeal cereal with milk and brown sugar is a stereotypical bland sort of meal that most people don’t like to consume often. You can take a spin with this healthy grain but using vanilla almond milk (trust me), depending on your sweet tooth you can also decide to add a few other ingredients. I’ve used dark chocolate pieces to mix into the oatmeal after it’s been heated, as long as the dark chocolate is over 90% you’ll reap the health benefits. Another alternative is using honey, or potentially combining both (it’s like having dessert in the morning). If you have any strawberries on hand, or they’re close by, they’ll be the accent to this meal and make it all the better and healthier. This recipe uses ingredients that can be entirely vegan (minus the honey), and purchasing honey helps boost depreciating bee populations. 

Cook An Omelette In a Cup

While this might not sound the most appetizing, it’s certainly one of the quickest and healthiest meals you can prepare on your travels. Coat your coffee cup of choice with some cooking spray and two or three eggs, and whisk them in. Throw some salsa and cheese in (cut up in small portions if you don’t have a grater), and any meat if you have some on hand. Use your chosen amount of salt or pepper and nuke it in the microwave for 45 seconds to a minute. Take out your omelette in a cup and then re-whisk in order to establish consistency and continue to nuke them for another minute. Voila! You’d made an omelette in a cup and it looks a lot better than you thought it was going to. The best thing about this recipe is that you can fine tune it all you like and be as healthy as you want with it. Eggs are a perfect way to have a low carb diet that’s going to leave you satisfied. 

Whether it’s changing up an old meal, or creating your own custom dish that suits your needs, it’s really that easy to keep healthy while you’re on your vacation. Hot porridge that’s a little sweeter than you’re used too fills you up quite fast, and microwaving eggs turns out a lot better than you’d think it might. A healthy salad will kill the craving to eat munchies, and the sweet and savoury taste of a pear sandwich will leave you satisfied. Try switching up these meals if you’re looking to add a personal touch, or create an entirely unique dish altogether! With a little creativity, you won’t need to worry about staying healthy on your vacation.
