I’m so excited – I’m getting ready to leave on a week-long trip with my boyfriend. We’re headed to Jackson Hole, WY for a wedding. And, I just thought I’d take this opportunity to answer a question that I get a lot – how do you maintain a healthy diet while you are traveling?

Honestly, it isn’t that hard. I just prepare ahead of time. It makes my trip a lot easier, and helps me enjoy myself more. But, what do I prepare?

First, I get my vitamins ready. I take 21 of my vitamin bags (that’s enough for 7 days at 3 per day). If you haven’t seen my system for making single dose vitamin bags, check out the free video here.

I eat five meals a day, and because I’m on vacation I like to have the local cuisine – but I only eat out for 1-2 of those meals, and I still make healthy choices.

Next, I do the same kind of thing as my vitamin bags, but for the shakes I drink for both breakfasts and snacks. I just use the Snack Size Ziploc bags, add I make up enough so that I have enough for the whole week. I just pop the dry mix into a water bottle or cup and I’m good to go. It really helps me stay on track.

And finally, I always pack a bag of raw almonds. Every night I take a cup of almonds and cover them with water. Soaked almonds are hands down my favorite snacks, they’re absolutely are delicious, and they give you so much energy for your trip! Check out this free video for soaked almonds.

If you aren’t a fan of almonds, there are a million other healthy snacks out there – you can find a huge selection at www.TrySunFoods.com

Taking these steps before I even leave really makes a HUGE difference in helping me maintain a healthy lifestyle. I recently went to Italy with a few girlfriends, and two of them gained over 8 pounds and needed a vacation from their vacation when they got home because they were so tired. Because I prepared ahead of time, I didn’t gain a single pound! And I still had energy to spare.

In love and service,
