We always found a way to eat healthy even when travelling
My husband and I switched to the whole food plant-based diet about five years ago. We found a wealth of health benefits, including great energy levels, wonderful sleep and clarity in our thinking.
This summer, we had gone on a holiday to the US for a month. It was our very first trip after switching to the WFPB lifestyle. We were very excited as we knew the US has lots and lots of vegan options. At the same time, we were very clear that we would follow our healthy vegan lifestyle at any cost.
We could find vegan options for everything – from cheese to pizzas and burgers, desserts and doughnuts – but to find healthier versions was a little difficult at every place. We tried our best to start our day with our favourite green smoothie. If that was not possible, we had lots of fruits, which were easily available. So, from morning till noon we ate only raw, as we did back home in Mumbai. Later, we looked for more raw salads or smoothie bowls. We also carried nuts and dates for munching. We realised just being a vegan is not enough, but following a whole food plant-based lifestyle is healthier and far more refreshing.
However, we are grateful that we got so many vegan options. Many places nowadays have raw restaurants too, so that’s a silver lining. There are also a lot of healthy options that we can carry and you can get ideas from https://sharan-india.org/recipes/useful-recipes-while-traveling/. And the most important tip is, if you are firm from within that you want to follow this lifestyle you can be sure the universe will help you!
