What do you eat when your on the go? That's are biggest downfall. If we are at garage sales or just simply running errands. We will be going to Fl. next year aside from fruit being the simplist to pack how do you get your lunch and dinner time veggies in . Anyone have some simple and tasty veggie take alongs? Karen

well you could always stop at a grocery store along the way down and just buy some of their already prepared salads, and buy an avocado and there u hav it, actually when i was driving up 2 ohio from florida i took kombucha its a fermented raw drink, they have one with spirulina and greens in it, ne ways i love that stuff it gave me super high energy

I just did a Faire all weekend and I did it all raw. I have a medium sized soft sided cooler and two large, flexible ice packs. We also had a large rolling cooler with ice and drinks for myself (water, herbal sun tea, kombucha, etc) and the food and drinks for my husband. I used the rolling cooler to keep one of the ice packs in so I could switch them out on Sunday. I brought:

Cut up melon (in tupperware)
A mango, an apple, an orange
Two bananas
Baby carrots
Zucchini
Cucumber
Raw hummus
Raw green crackers
Raw "power" bars (store bought)
Raw "curry" sticks wrapped in nori (store bought)
Raw almonds

Breakfast was tea, a banana, and a raw "power" bar. Lunch was zucchini, carrots, cucumber and green crackers all dipped in the hummus. Dinner was fruit. Water, tea, and kombucha I drank all day, the almonds I munched on all day. I was never hungry, and my food was always cold.

If you were only going somewhere for a day, you could do it all in one backpack style cooler, since you wouldn't have to change out the ice packs. Depending on how much you drink it may get heavy. You can usually buy water anywhere though

Have fun!

kombucha is a tea right ? how do you make that?

I've got my first batch brewing right now. It's pretty easy, just requires a little patience...

itss kindof like ginger ale, you can find it at health food stores, they sell it like anyther cold beverage

This book I'm reading has a chapter called "Traveling in the Raw" here's their list of what to bring along.

Almonds, macadamia nuts, sunflower, sesame and pumpkin seeds,olives (Vegetables & Fuites that travel well): Cabbage, Carrots, bell pepper, avocado, apples, grapefuit and raisins.

or if you have time it is useful to stock up on some dehydrated goodies. Like Seasoned nuts, trail mixes, crackers, veggie chips, & granolas.
