Vacation Snacks

Okay, so it wasn't exactly blissful or convenient to cook while on our family vacation this past weekend. However, we were camping anyway so it's never convenient to cook while you're camping. I just need to keep reminding myself that my health and my family's heath are worth the time and effort it takes to make healthy meals. (Even on vacation)
I started out the trip by planning ahead. I brought all of our food with us in coolers. We were off schedule by a couple hours, but that is normal for us anyway. We also had the use of an electrical outlet so I was able to make my kids waffles and green smoothie every morning. Yes we brought along our waffle maker and blender. And for dinner we brought along our skillet to make zucchini and onions and vegetable stir-fry. I also brought the rice maker. Did I end up using all of that while camping? Not exactly, but I thought we ate much better than we would have if we were dependent on the local restaurants (McDonald's, and that pretty much it other than the regular deep fried-mom and pop joints.) I made salads and tomato sandwiches for my hubby and I and I made PB&J for the kids for lunch and dinner. We had guacamole and corn chips, apples, baby carrots and cut up watermelon for snacks we also had brown rice, corn and black beans for dinner as well, but that wasn't at the campsite, that was at mom's house on the way home.

Snacks that worked really well on Vacation:
1.Healthy Corn Chips and Guacamole- make it fresh (1 mashed avocado and some cut up tomatoes and a little salt, and lime if you like)

2.Baby carrots (A must while driving!! Crunchy so it keeps you awake!)

3.Watermelon (I brought one from home and cut it up and put in a Tupperware container to take on the road) I LOVE WATERMELON!!

4.Red Grapes (seedless the sweeter the better. I like them hard not soft)

5.Apples or any type of fruit that you like. Its portable and yummy so your more likely to opt for it than the Fritos at the gas station convenient store.

I have yet to find a good vegan bran muffin recipe. But I thought that healthy muffins would also be a good option for a healthy portable snack.
