Hi, I'm Lauren with wellelifin.com and today I'm going to talk to you about how to travel when you're going by plane and you eat a plant-based diet specifically without oil. Like you follow forks over knives or prevent reverse heart disease or doctor mcdougal. So it makes it a little bit tricky when you're out on the road without oil. So anyway this is how you get on a plane without oil. First of all, I don't know if this is what you do but I always check my bag because I have a lot of hair care products, I have a lot of shoes and I have a lot of food. So if you're going overnight then you know you can probably scrounge up some soy milk for your coffee or something like that and eat the hotel oatmeal but you're going to be gone a little while. Pack an insulated bag with some cold packs. You can put your oil-free hummus in there. Seeders has an oil-free fat-free hummus. It's okay. Homemade is better but this is good you know in a pinch and to take on a trip with you. I put that in there. I pack my oatmeal which I love. I put in my coffee. I put in my cereal. That's going in my cold bag. It's going to be closed. You want to bring a sealed one but I just like it you know but it's not going to get knocked around and get poked and open up. So I put that in there. If you want to pack a little bit of food for your room you can do that. I pack things that taste good cold like you know pasta salad or veggie burger or I always pack this I love this pad Thai. I like trust me on this one. Do not pack rice and beans. Pack quinoa and lentils. They travel much better. They taste better cold. I pack a little kombucha squash and this could be either something you eat on the plane depending on the length of the flight or something that gets packed into your suitcase. So that's going to be up to you but again just pack something for the plane that you can snack on that's going to taste good cold. A lot of times I bring a veggie burger for the plane. I always have apples in my carry on bag. They're you know pretty hardy camping them up. This will go a pack a big thing of berries or some other kind of fruit. I put it you know I'll seal up with the top and put it in my cold bag. And then I also always try to have some kind of like veggies, sugar snap peas or peppers or something like that to snack on in my carry on bag. And I also bring that's my cold bag. I bring a little bit of Mary's going crackers. They're delicious and I bring some of these guys Scandinavian fiber crisp bread not as delicious but high in fiber and low in fat. So you know that's something I'm going to pack either into won't go on my cold bag. It'll either go on my carry on bag or it'll go in just a bag that I pack into my suitcase. And then I'm also going to pack some I make some organic corn tortillas in the oven. I bake them at like 400 at maybe maybe for like 10 minutes. I bring like maybe eight of these. I like to have a lot because you will be surprised the amount of times that you will run into salsa and you want to have something that you can scoop it up with. You're not going to be able to eat the tortilla chips in the restaurant so you want to be prepared. So I bring another little bag and I pack these down into my little bag and then I have tortillas chips and I bring these to the restaurant. So you need something to transport these. And speaking of transport for your oat milk you're not going to want to take this into the restaurant like if you're going to have coffee in the morning or some cereal. So you want to have like a little preferably leak proof container that you can stick into your purse to take some oat milk into the restaurant with you. If you don't have a leak proof container you're going to end up just pouring a little oat milk in here and you're going to have to carry it on in because you do not want to put this in your purse and have an oat milk purse. I have done it before. It's not good. Anyway, so make sure you have something to transport your oat milk with. And I bring a gigantic thing of cereal. I absolutely love cereal and I usually just have this as a snack. It's not even for breakfast because I can eat the oat meal at the hotel. But what I do is I pack down three different kinds of cereals into one little container. I do a lot of oats. Just raw oats, some puffed camo, and I do a little bit of this guy for some flavoring. It has a little bit of honey in it so it's not vegan and it's probably not the healthy. So just a little sprinkling of this for flavor but it's primarily these two cereals. It's just a lot healthier. And then what I do, I put it all in here. I put some raisins. I put a ton of cinnamon. I shake it all up. If I were gone for like a week, I would have probably three times as much. Maybe not that much, but I'd have a lot. And then pack your bowl, pack your spoon. Pack your fork too, just to eat the other guys that you brought along on the trip. So make sure you're prepared with all that. And if you need a snack, you have this. If you need breakfast, you have that. You can put your berries in it. So that's really good for flying on a plane. But make sure you have something good to eat. Make sure it's not smelly because you don't want to be one of those passengers where you open up your broccoli and everybody's like, oh my god, who farted? What's going on? You know, try to pack something that's, and I've done that before. You really regret it. But just pack something that's not smelly. Make sure you have enough food for the plane. Pack your call bag, pack it in your suitcase, and you'll be good. So I appreciate it. My name is Lauren. If you have any questions, if I didn't answer a question, please email me at Lauren. L-A-U-R-E-N at wellelifant.com. And I promise I will email you back. And if you want to stay in touch with me, first of all, you can go to wellelifant.com and you can download. I have a free three-day meal plan and grocery list. It's all plant-based, oil-free, and then you'll be added to my email list. And like every other week, probably, or every week, I'll email you a recipe or some kind of tip like this for eating oil-free plant-based. And if you would do me a huge favor and like and share this video, so other people who eat like us can have access to this information. It's really important to me to get that out there because I know it's hard for people to travel and to eat when you get away from home. And I have a full-length video. It's like 16 minutes. I tried to break this one up a little bit, but it covers everything about eating out, staying at a hotel. So if you want to watch that, if you want a more comprehensive video, I have that. But I really appreciate it. And I hope that you have a wonderful trip.
